James Buttler is joined by Australian regular Lucas to chat all things New Zealand vs England and Australia vs India.

With New Zealand dominant in Hamilton and England taking the series 2-1, what have England learned? Jacob Bethell has a future. Why did Ben Stokes overbowl himself? What mark would England get out of 10 in 2024?

And, with Brisbane rain ruining Australia's hopes at The Gabba, are we any closer to finding out who will hold the Border Gavaskar Trophy? 1-1 after three Tests would set up the series beautifully with two to play.
