## Resource

Neil Manthorp is joined by the former England fast bowler Steve Harmison to look back at England's 253-run defeat to New Zealand in the second Test at The Oval, and ahead to this week's series decider at Trent Bridge. They are also joined on the show by Women's Cricket Journalist and Author Raf Nicholson to discuss the biggest talking points from the T20 World Cup. Is Ben Stokes' relationship with Brendon McCullum repairable after the events of the last two weeks? Is it inevitable that the ECB will be forced into a change if England lose this series against New Zealand? Is Rob Key's position under scrutiny, or is the focus more on Brendon McCullum? What bowling attack do England select for this series decider? Is Jofra Archer fit enough to bowl after having his workload managed at The Oval? Do England pick a spinner with extremely hot weather forecast? Listeners outside of the UK can hear live ball-by-ball commentary of next week's third and final Test between England and New Zealand on the talkSPORT Cricket YouTube Channel.
