## Resource

Simon Mann is joined by former England spinner Vic Marks and former India wicket-keeper Deep Dasgupta to look back on England's four wicket win over India at Sophia Gardens to level the ODI series at 1-1 with the deciding match to come on Sunday at Lord's. We hear from both captains as well as Joe Root who finished unbeaten on 99. We also hear from Formula 1 driver Arvid Lindblad who spoke with Elly Oldroyd and shared his passion for cricket, family and what it's like being in such a high octane environment.
