Season 10, Ep 20: This week, Guardian writer Emma John joins the show to talk about her recent article drawing together interviews with many of the England team's Black cricketers. This came out alongside the outstanding documentary on Sky presented by Mark Butcher, titled You Guys Are History.

Before that, India's second Test win on their tour of England wrapped up at The Oval, and our mate Sachin Tendulkar knocked off Adam's iconic photo of the last wicket falling. Finally, some recognition from the King of the Tweets. Also, Virat Kohli's relationship with the Barmy Army, a preview of the Old Trafford Test, the touring fortunes of New Zealand's men and women, and the late-season county rounds.
