Sky Cricket Podcast: Jack Leach’s century, plus another England batting collapse

Will Ireland pull off a shock win over England at Lord’s?

On the Cricket Debate, Bob Willis, Jonathan Trott and host Charles Colvile assess the state of the game and England, who will be back in Test action against Australia in the Ashes from next Thursday.
