England's cricketers continue to entertain under the guidance of Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes. After completing a clean sweep against New Zealand, they chased down a record of 378 runs, with ease, to see off India at Edgbaston to win the delayed fifth test and claim a series draw.

Mike, Phil and Ben unpack the incredible win and ask what is the limit for this current side who have now made it four test wins on the bounce following the arrival of Brendon McCullum.

We also speak with former Managing Director of Men's cricket at the ECB Ashely Giles. He opens up about a turbulent final few months in charge which culminated in a heavy Ashes defeat in Australia. He also gives us his take on the exciting new era for England cricket following the appointments of McCullum and Stokes.

After a thrilling month of red ball cricket for England, it has been a week to forget for the white ball side.

Jos Buttler's opening T20 series as captain against India ended in a 2-1 defeat and his first ODI against the same opponent could not have gone much worse. The World Champions were bowled out for just 110 with Roy, Root and Stokes all going for ducks. Micheal, Phil and Ben unpack the thrashing and ask if it is simply a blip or if major surgery is needed with the T20 World Cup less than 100 days away.

Our guest this week is India spin bowling legend Ravi Ashwin, he speaks at length about his concerns for the one day game, his thoughts on 'Bazball" and what can be done in England to develop more spinners moving forward.

Away from the action on the field we get stuck into the best of your emails and discuss the elaborate fake IPL scam in India designed to con Russian gamblers.

England's one day cricketers are struggling to get going under their new captain Jos Buttler. After suffering a series defeat to India over the weekend, they were soundly beaten in their opening ODI against South Africa on Tuesday too.
