Would England enforce an Ashes follow-on?

We discuss New Zealand鈥檚 thrilling one-run win over England in Wellington, with England becoming only the second national side to lose a Test after enforcing a follow-on.

On this week鈥檚 episode of Stumped, Jim Maxwell tells us that he believes England would not enforce a follow-on against Australia in the Ashes. England became only the second national side ever to lose a Test match having enforced the follow-on, as New Zealand won by a single run in Wellington to draw the two-match series. Would they Brendon McCullum's side be as bold against their great rivals in an Ashes series?

Charu Sharma dismisses Alyssa Healy鈥檚 claims that Harmanpreet Kaur鈥檚 run-out in India鈥檚 Women鈥檚 T20 World Cup semi-final loss to Australia was a result of 鈥渓azy running鈥. Australia went on to the win the tournament for a sixth time, beating South Africa in the final. We hear from South Africa鈥檚 star batter Laura Wolvaardt about the experience of playing a home World Cup.

Plus the head coach of Spain, Corey Rutgers joins us to discuss his side鈥檚 dismantling of the Isle of Man. Spain bowled them out for just 10 runs, which is the lowest total ever in a men鈥檚 T20 match. They then hit two sixes from the first two legitimate balls they faced to reach their target.
