Five countries have lifted the trophy in the history of the Men’s Cricket World Cup. On Sunday we will have our sixth. It will be England v New Zealand in the showpiece final at Lord’s, after Eoin Morgan’s side produced a near-perfect performance to brush aside Australia by eight wickets at Edgbaston. Jo Harman is joined by Phil Walker and Wisden Almanack editor Lawrence Booth to discuss England’s victory, including the rejuvenation of Adil Rashid, the genius of Jofra Archer and the Test future of Jason Roy.

With the 2019 Men’s Cricket World Cup in its final stretch, Jo Harman is joined by ex-England captain Adam Hollioake, Test Match Special commentator Daniel Norcross and Wisden’s Phil Walker to discuss the final four, Australia’s old-school approach and consider for which team did the tournament go most wrong. Hollioake, the only England skipper to ever win a 50-over global trophy, picks out Jason Roy as the key man ahead of the hosts’ semi-final and believes their attacking-style should prove too much for the Aussies.

There was to be no miracle at Lord’s, Pakistan missing out on a place in the semi-finals to New Zealand on net run-rate.

Jo Harman is joined by Elizabeth Ammon of The Times to analyse Pakistan and Bangladesh’s contrasting campaigns, and react to the news that the World Cup final will be shown live on a free-to-air platform, on the proviso that England qualify for it.
