579: ENGLAND v SRI LANKA first Test REVIEW #MentalHealth

James Buttler is joined by Australian fan badger Lucas to look back at the first Test between England and Sri Lanka at Old Trafford. England took victory by five wickets inside four days to take their home summer tally to 4-0. Can Sri Lanka bounce back at Lord's? How did Ollie Pope do as England skipper? With Mark Wood and Chris Woakes injured, how do England play the second Test? How good are Jamie Smith and Kamindu Mendis? The conversation starts with a chat about mental health in the wake of Graham Thorpe's tragic passing. And, also a critical look at another Shakib Al Hasan on-pitch tantrum as Bangladesh beat Pakistan in Rawalpindi.
