How does England’s ODI side look off the back of this tri-series against Pakistan and Sri Lanka? Having only won one match, how did Harry Brook perform as captain of a side? And should the team be performing better in ODIs considering their T20 record?
Henry Moeran is alongside Jonathan Agnew, Steven Finn, and Alex Hartley to discuss all that. Plus, Ben Duckett reflects on the match where he scored 167, as well as the tournament as a whole. Sri Lanka captain Kusal Mendis looks back at his side’s defeat ahead of the tri-series final on Saturday.
English umpire Richard Kettleborough reflects on his umpiring career as he stands in his 100th Test match in the game between South Africa and Australia at Newlands.
