Pakistan out-fought, out-skilled and outplayed England in the first Test at Lords to silence their critics - we ask how has Mickey Arthur transformed a team usually mocked for their fielding to showing England how to win in English conditions. We hear from legendary pace bowler Waqar Younis.
In contrast, where is it going wrong for England? Former England batsman James Taylor speaks to Alison Mitchell about how can Trevor Bayliss and Joe Root turn their form around having gone eight Tests without a win. Taylor's career was cut short by a heart condition and this week, has released a new book 'Cut Short'. He explains to Alison Mitchell how he felt let down by the ECB and The Players Association by the lack of care following his ordeal which left him fighting for his life.
And we sent Rahul Tandon to the Home of Cricket where the world's biggest cricket stars came together in a special one off T20 charity match to raise funds for the five cricket grounds in the Caribbean that were damaged by the Hurricanes Irma and Maria in September last year. Carlos Brathwaite skippered West Indies which included Chris Gayle, Andre Russell and veteran batsman Marlon Samuels. They were up against a World XI which included Pakistan's Shahid Afridi and Afghanistan legspinner Rashid Khan.
