This week Henry Moeran, Jim Maxwell and Charu Sharma discuss the toll being a fast bowler takes on the body.

We hear from former South Africa quick, Vernon Philander. He fears Jofra Archer doesn’t have enough overs in his legs to play international test cricket yet. He also shares his thoughts on how India are managing Jasprit Bumrah's fitness after he was rested for the 2nd Test at Edgbaston.

England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt tells Stumped her side’s problems with spin must be addressed as they build to this Autumn’s World Cup in India and Sri Lanka.

And we look at why Pakistan’s men continue to struggle to find a permanent test Head Coach.
