Join Matt Floyd for the latest episode of the Cricket Report on Friday night for Ashes reaction, Mark Butcher's batting tip and highlights from Delhi, Wellington and the Ram Slam.

We will be getting the views from Nasser Hussain in London and Michael Atherton and Bob Willis in Adelaide after England's spirited comeback in the second Test was thwarted by a rampant Australia on day five and Joe Root's side slipped 2-0 down in the Ashes series with three games to play.

Nasser will answer your questions, too, while Mark Butcher will give advice to budding batsmen in our latest Pro Tip.

The Cricket Report

Butch will also discuss the other big stories from the world of cricket in a week where Ben Stokes made his debut for Canterbury and smog stopped play in the third Test between India and Sri Lanka!

Virat Kohli braved the pollution to score the sixth double century of his Test career before Sri Lanka battled to a draw on day five at Feroz Shah Kotla to limit the hosts to a 1-0 series win.

We'll have the best of the action from that match, as well as from Basin Reserve in New Zealand, as the Black Caps hammered Windies by an innings and 67 runs in the series opener - Colin de Grandhomme biffing a 71-ball century for the hosts.
