The fifth and final Test of the 2023 men’s Ashes begins tomorrow at The Kia Oval. Australia have the opportunity to win their first Ashes series on English soil in a generation, while England will be desperate to prevent that from happening.

The panel of Jo Harman, Ben Gardner and Yas Rana preview the final Test and wonder what the end of this summer means for the Test futures of James Anderson and Stuart Broad.

There’s also chat on criticism of Pat Cummins' captaincy, the latest week of County Championship action, a controversial incident in an India-Bangladesh ODI, BazBall being taken on by other countries and county cricket’s transfer system.

Before the main discussion, Phil Walker talks to Ollie Robinson to get a sense of the mood in the England camp following the rain-affected draw in Manchester.
