Neil Manthorp is joined by the former England fast bowler Steve Harmison to look back at England's five-wicket defeat to Australia in their opening game of the Champions Trophy, and they hear from captain Jos Buttler. They also look back at some of the other highlights from the tournament, as India and New Zealand progress to the semi-finals, and Pakistan are knocked out despite playing just one game in Pakistan. The new Essex Director of Cricket Chris Silverwood reflects on returning to the club after a stint with Sri Lanka, and they discuss the week's other big stories, as Moeen Ali takes up a new role with Warwickshire, and Ben Stokes opts out of The Hundred.
