Neil Manthorp is joined by the former England fast bowler Steve Harmison for another busy show. They debate if Joe Root should return to England's T20 side after a successful SA20 for the Paarl Royals, and whether he can manage as an all-format player at 34. Pakistan Cricket Writer and Broadcaster Behram Qazi joins the show to look back at their 120-run defeat to the West Indies in the second Test in Multan, with the visitors winning a Test in Pakistan for the first time since 1990. He also gives an update on the Champions Trophy. ESPNCricinfo's Valkerie Baynes reflects on England's heavy defeat to Australia in the Women's Ashes, and discusses what next for captain Heather Knight and Head Coach Jon Lewis. And they round up the week's other stories, as Rocky Flintoff scores a century for England Lions in Australia, and they bring you The Final Word.
