## Resource

Neil Manthorp is joined by the former England fast bowler Steve Harmison to look back at England's 160-run defeat to New Zealand in the third and final Test at Trent Bridge. What now for England's Test side after a first home defeat in a three-match Test series in 14 years? Should Brendon McCullum remain as England Head Coach after overseeing a run of 2 wins in their 9 Test matches and a losing record over the last 3 years? Who will step up to replace Ben Stokes as England's Test captain? How do England adjust the balance of the side after losing their premium all-rounder? Listeners outside of the UK can hear live ball-by-ball commentary of England's next Test series at home to Pakistan on the talkSPORT Cricket YouTube Channel.
