First up on the agenda is Broad and what he has done to get back among the wickets after a torrid Ashes series, proving he is still a top class performer on the Test match stage.

His opening burst, alongside James Anderson, helped England to reduce New Zealand to 36-5 and Bob questions why the tactics then seemed to change with bowling lengths dropped back.

Talk then turns to Joe Root and whether it is possible to determine what kind of captain he is, or at least would like to be and whether he has the tools at his disposal to do that.

The second part of discussion centres around Warner with Bob and Alison discussing his tear-filled press conference in which he apologised for his role in the ball-tampering scandal.

The pair ponder the reasons for the Australian's refusal to answers questions on whether anybody else was involved in sandpaper-gate and wonder what will happen next as the saga rolls on.

Also up for discussion are:

• Jack Leach's steady start on his Test debut
• Mark Wood and the role he was asked to perform
• Alastair Cook: is his position under threat?
• Cricket Australia and whether they "are out of control"
