Adam & Tony look ahead to Australia v South Africa at Lord's - the third edition of Test cricket's showpiece event. Are Australia big favourites? Are South Africa lucky to be in the final, or actually a better team than some think? And is the World Test Championship fit for purpose, or is there room to make it better?

Plus, thoughts on England's resounding win over Zimbabwe. An innings win inside three days, but lots to ponder - has Ollie Pope done enough to keep his place? And how worried should we be about Stokes's siege mentality?

Adam & Tony deliver the definitive preview of the one-off Test between England and Zimbabwe. It's Zimbabwe's first Test in England for 22 years - can they give the home side a run for their money? How will England's new-look bowling attack fare? And will Richard Johnson have anything to say about it?

Plus, we speak to author Tim Wigmore about his fantastic new book, Test Cricket: A History. Tim talks us through the twists and turns of the game's evolution (including how Argentina nearly became a Test powerhouse), and sets out his vision for the future. How can we fix the World Test Championship? And will that be enough to keep the game alive?

Adam & Tony discuss Harry Brook's appointment as England's new white-ball captain. The right choice? Or another case of overburdening your best player? And what was going on with all that chat about Ben Stokes?

They also try to make sense of the IPL as it stumbles towards the halfway stage, and give a few suggestions for improvements that will doubtless be welcomed by the organisers.
