The Ashes are up for grabs and we get into the discussion. What are our reflections from Headingley after a couple of days rest? And what can both teams do to shape up for Old Trafford next week?

We also cover the Women's Ashes where England have fought back into the contest.

In part 2 we talk Major League Cricket, which is launching next week. We preview all 6 teams and answer listener questions about what this means for the cricket calendar.

Then finally we mull over the MCC World Cricket Committee's suggestions for the future of the game.
