Simon Mann presents reaction to England’s defeat to South Africa from Karachi which means their Champions Trophy campaign ends without them winning a game.

For the final time as England captain, Jos Buttler gives his thoughts on the loss. As does South Africa captain Aiden Markram.

Plus, Brendan McCullum talks about who the next captain might be.

Full coverage of New Zealand against India starts on Sunday at 8:45am on BBC Sounds, 5 Sports Extra & the BBC Sport app and website.
