England v Sri Lanka: Smith century puts England on top

Jonathan Agnew is alongside Alastair Cook, Michael Vaughan, Vic Marks & former Sri Lanka allrounder Russel Arnold for reaction to day four at Old Trafford where Sri Lanka have a slender advantage. They discuss Jamie Smith becoming the youngest wicketkeeper to score a century for England, Angelo Mathews’ insubmissive innings for Sri Lanka, and the drops that dampened the day.

Jamie Smith describes the “incredible feeling” making his maiden test century for England.

Plus, Daniel Norcross speaks to award winning writer Nicholas Brookes who chronicles the history of Sri Lanka cricket.
