Download Root resistance but England on the brink

Simon Mann is alongside former England captain Michael Vaughan and BBC chief cricket commentator Jonathan Agnew for reaction to the fourth day's play between England and New Zealand at The Oval.

Hear from Josh Tongue, who took two wickets in New Zealand’s second innings, and Henry Nicholls, whose century got New Zealand well on their way to an imposing total.

Plus, Andy Zaltzman gives us a stat-attack.
