ENG v PAK - First Test; Day One - Robinson & Tongue Bowl Ensure The Joe Root Era Gets Off To A Perfect Start!

from Following On: talkSPORT's cricket show

Neil Manthorp is joined by the former England fast bowlers Steve Harmison and Darren Gough to look back at Day 1 of the first Test between England and Pakistan at Headingley, with England closing on 112-2, trailing by 59 runs. They reflect on five-wicket hauls for both Josh Tongue and Ollie Robinson, debate whether it was the perfect start to Joe Root's second tenure as Test Captain, and reflect on Emilio Gay's form and how much he needs a score to cement his place at the top of the order.Listeners outside of the UK can hear live ball-by-ball commentary of England's three-match series against Pakistan on the talkSPORT Cricket YouTube Channel.Instagram: @talkSPORT_CricketYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9vsecLHNgTj-yoNumw63lQX: @Cricket_TS @NeilManthorp @Harmy611 @DGoughieHosts: Neil Manthorp, Steve Harmison and Darren GoughProducer: Scott Taylor Hosted on Acast.
