Time for England to win

It's a new era for English cricket with a new coach and new captain. First up is a Pakistan.

Jake, Nick and Will unpack an eventful month which saw Brendon McCullum follow Ben Stokes out the exit door with Stephen Fleming and Joe Root in.

Nick questions why a decision on the coach was not made earlier this year and explains why the six months since the Ashes have been wasted. Will says it's a shocker that Fleming is not coming in for an immediate start this week against Pakistan.

Nick tells us why Joe Root was the right choice for England captain over Harry Brook and why he expects Root to be better this time around, having already captained the side earlier in his career.

As for matters on the pitch, there is concern over a lack of spinners given it's been the hottest summer in decades, and Nick also explains why he doesn't care how England plays, as long as they start winning Test matches again.

Plus, we answer all of your questions as usual too!
