The most entertaining Ashes ever?

We discuss England鈥檚 resurgence in the men鈥檚 and women鈥檚 Ashes, with both series hanging finely in the balance.

Alison Mitchell is joined by Clint Wheeldon and Sunil Gupta to reflect on an exhilarating Ashes series across both the men鈥檚 and women鈥檚 game, with more thrills still to come. England looked down and out in the women鈥檚 multi-format series after losing the one-off Test at Trent Bridge, but they have rallied and inflicted three consecutive defeats on the reigning world champions Australia. One win from the remaining two one-day internationals would be enough for the tourists to retain the urn, but England have the momentum.

Meanwhile, the men鈥檚 Test series is delicately poised. A win for the hosts at Old Trafford would level the scores at 2-2 going into the fifth and final match at the Oval, but similarly to their female counterparts, Australia only need to draw the series to ensure that they won鈥檛 be relinquishing the Ashes. The team give their predictions on which way it will go.

Plus, Teja Nidamanuru joins us after helping the Netherlands qualify for their first 50-over World Cup in 12 years. The occasion will mean more than most for the middle-order batter as the tournament is being hosted in the country of his birth, India. He tells us about moving to New Zealand as a six-year-old, playing in England and working a full-time job to support his cricket career.
