It's World Test Championship final time! Yas Rana and Ben Gardner are joined by South African journalist Daniel Gallan to preview the showpiece event, as the Proteas take on Australia at Lord's.

There's chat about selection dilemmas, what this would mean for South African cricket more broadly, getting over the 'chokers' tag, the World Test Championship as a competition and more.

Also on the show, Harry Brook registers another series victory as captain, Mark Butcher reacts to England's squad for the first Test against India, and there's a new issue of Wisden Cricket Monthly.
