England wrapped up their series win against Pakistan with another comfortable victory to bring down the curtain on an eventful summer.
Jake, Nick and Will reflect on the Pakistan series and the summer as a whole, which started with McCullum and Stokes in charge and ended with Joe Root reinstated as captain.
We ask where this summer ranks amongst the most eventful in recent history and if England have emerged in a better or worse place heading into the winter series in South Africa.
Ollie Robinson returned in emphatic fashion and looks like the leader of England's attack but there are questions though for Ben Duckett, one of the pillars of Bazball. We ask what his future holds under Stephen Fleming.
We discuss what impact Kevin Pietersen could have after he was named as a mentor for the England white-ball setup and should Trescothick leave the setup entirely to develop further as a coach elsewhere?
And we answer your questions as usual, too.
