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.

Jon Norman is joined by the former New Zealand captain Jeremy Coney and Broadcaster Cameron Ponsonby to reflect on England's 253-run defeat to New Zealand at The Oval, and look ahead to the third Test at Trent Bridge next week. Is Brendon McCullum at risk of losing his job if they lose this series? Or will the hierarchy make a decision after this Test Match regardless of the outcome? How will fans feel about Ben Stokes' return to the England side as captain? How will it go down in the dressing room after McCullum & Key refused to publicly back him? How will McCullum's tenure as England Head Coach be defined if he were to leave his role after this series? Do England need to be better at selecting ready-made experienced players rather than throw youngsters in at the deep end?

Jon Norman is joined by the former New Zealand captain Jeremy Coney to look back at Day 4 of the second Test between England and New Zealand at The Oval, with England closing on 182-5, with New Zealand needing another 5 wickets for victory. Is England's lack of experience showing as New Zealand look set for victory? How valuable has Matt Henry been to this New Zealand attack? Will today be a series-turning day for Kyle Jamieson with the ball? Can England pull off the impossible with Joe Root still at the crease?

Jon Norman is joined by the former New Zealand captain Jeremy Coney to look back at Day 3 of the Second Test between England and New Zealand at The Oval, with New Zealand closing on 252-3, a lead of 352 runs? Did England show today that they selected the wrong team? Why is Henry Nicholls seemingly underappreciated despite two centuries in his last 3 innings? Will England conceding over 60 extras cost them at the end of this Test? How do New Zealand approach Day 4 and when will be a suitable time to declare?

Neil Manthorp is joined by the former New Zealand captain Jeremy Coney to look back at Day 2 of the second Test between England and New Zealand at The Oval, with England closing on 222-6, still trailing by 169 runs. Was this the day New Zealand moved a huge step closer to levelling the series? Why did England not bowl Jofra Archer until the very end of the evening session? Should Glenn Phillips bat higher up the New Zealand order after scoring his maiden Test century? Why does bringing the wicket-keeper up to the stumps impact the England batters so much?

Jon Norman is joined by the former England wicket-keeper Matt Prior and the former New Zealand captain Jeremy Coney to look back at Day 1 of the second Test between England and New Zealand at The Oval, with New Zealand closing on 291-7 after being put in to bat.

Who will be the happier of the two sides after Day 1? Will New Zealand feel like they've wasted an opportunity by throwing so many wickets away? Will England feel they've gave too many extras away when on top? What did they make of Sonny Baker's first day as a Test Cricketer? Does Jofra Archer's battle with Glenn Phillips prove why Test Cricket remains the pinnacle?

How did Rachin Ravindra react to Kane Williamson's international retirement? What did he learn off Kane during their time playing together for New Zealand? How excited is he for the next 12 months as a New Zealand Test Cricketer? Can Sussex go on to win the County Championship after a positive start to the season?

Jon Norman is joined by commentator Neil Manthorp to look ahead to England's second Test against New Zealand, with live ball-by-ball commentary available for overseas listeners on the talkSPORT Cricket YouTube Channel. Does Brendon McCullum's press conference suggest that Ben Stokes won't be returning as England Test captain? Why didn't McCullum come out and assure England fans that Stokes will be returning? How will Sonny Baker perform on his Test debut? Who will open the bowling alongside Jofra Archer? Did Kane Williamson actually put the team first by playing in that first Test despite his heart not being in it?

Neil Manthorp is joined by the former England fast bowler Steve Harmison to reflect on England's 115-run victory over New Zealand at Lord's. How vital was it that England won after what happened in Australia, and can they kick on now? Does Jofra Archer automatically return to the XI for the second Test, and if so, in place for who? What is it inevitable that Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was selected in India's T20 squad to tour England and Ireland this summer? Should more experienced players play for the England Lions to further the development of their young talents?
