    Mark Chapman, former England captain Michael Vaughan, former England bowlers Phil Tufnell and Steven Finn discuss the fallout from Brydon Carse's nightclub incident, how England can rectify their off-pitch behaviour problem and, how it all overshadows their dominant Test match win over Pakistan. Brydon Carse has been dropped from the England team ahead of the second Test against Pakistan after being arrested and de-arrested on a night out in Derby. Former England wicketkeeper Matt Prior calls for his sacking and for action from the ECB, so what can incoming head coach Stephen Fleming do to cull inappropriate behaviour amongst England cricketers? On the field, England secured a dominant first Test win over Pakistan at Headingley. Whilst England looked impressive, Pakistan put in a poor performance which raises doubts about the state of Test cricket in the country. Aatif Nawaz joins the podcast to look at Pakistan's performance and how they can improve.
