Ahead of the second Ashes Test, Michael, Phil and Ben sit down with England legend Sir Geoffrey Boycott to discuss Australia’s win at Edgbaston and what England need to do if they are to come from behind to win the series. 

Sir Geoffrey expresses his concerns over certain aspects of 'Bazball' and says the team should join a circus if all they are interested in is entertainment!

Plus, we dissect the team announcement with Josh Tongue selected in place of Moeen Ali and reflect on the defeat for England women in their Ashes opener.
