Summary

After all the fallout from Lord’s, we’re just a couple of days away from the third men’s Ashes Test – and this one takes place at Headingley, the home of Ashes comebacks. Stephan Shemilt is joined by journalists Vithushan Ehantharajah and Scott Bailey to ask whether England can come back from 2-0 down, who will replace the injured Ollie Pope, England’s bowling attack and Nathan Lyon’s replacement. Plus, we hear exclusively from Steve Smith ahead of his 100th Test match as the Australian discusses his life, his career and his legacy.
