Episode We're in the Lord's penthouse, Baz is drinking in the Last Chance Saloon
Season 20, Episode 18: Coming to you from the absurd penthouse terrace with a clear view of the Lord's pitch, Adam and Geoff are back together. England have been thumped by New Zealand, and Ben Stokes is coming back for the third Test, but his relationship with Brendon McCullum might be strained after the strange Baz comments "worrying" about his team's captain. Also this week, Sooryavanshi destroys another record as Beatlemania threatens, and we attended a World Cricket Association just before recording to look at the game's governance.
