Cricket - SkySports Podcast

England can’t afford any more slip ups if they are to qualify for the World Cup quarter-finals after a crushing nine-wicket to Sri Lanka.

Joe Root’s history-making hundred aside, it was a day on which English confidence returned to earth with a resounding thump following the 119-run win over Scotland.

So where do Eoin Morgan’s men go from here after a second Wellington walloping? In our latest Sky Cricket Podcast, opener Nick Compton shares his thoughts on that and plenty more.

So for Nick’s thoughts on England’s treatment of Alex Hales, whether James Tredwell should be back in the side, just how well Root – the youngest England batsman to score a World Cup hundred – is maturing, download the podcast using this link or listen via audioBoom.

You can also hear from Morgan as he reflects on England’s third World Cup defeat in four games – including his thoughts on that bowling display – as well as man-of-the-moment Root, who could not hide his disappointment at the team’s defeat despite his best efforts with the bat.
