## Resource

Jon Norman is joined by the former England fast bowler Steve Harmison and Pakistan Cricket Broadcaster Behram Qazi to look back at Day 1 of the second Test between England and Pakistan at Lord's, with England closing on 248-9. They reflect on half-centuries for both Jordan Cox and Jamie Smith, debate which of the two sides will be the happier at stumps, and discuss another slow day in terms of over-rate, and what can be done to stamp that out. Listeners outside of the UK can hear live ball-by-ball commentary of the first Test between England and New Zealand on the talkSPORT Cricket YouTube Channel.
