Euphoric England, Radiant Root, & Calamitous Colin de Grandhomme

England’s dismal run of nine Tests without a win finally came to an end as they completed the third-highest chase at Lord's!

Join Dan, Zac, and Glenn as they run through all the main talking points from an entertaining and somewhat chaotic first Test versus New Zealand. Joe Root appeared to relish his new post-captaincy role, Matthew Potts impressed on debut, and Ben Foakes finally looks like fulfilling his potential. However, England’s top order still struggled, showing everything certainly isn’t perfect under Rob Key’s new regime.

New Zealand’s specialist batters also failed, and poor Colin de Grandhomme had a match to forget. Will they bounce back and beat England at Trent Bridge later this week?

All that, plus a look at how our Blast fantasy teams are faring (not well!) and a round-up of international action. Thanks for listening!
