Wisden Cricket Weekly

*We apologise for Yas' microphone quality*

On this bonus episode of the Wisden Cricket Weekly podcast, Yas Rana speaks to Adam Hollioake. 20 years on from leaving Surrey as a player, he's back in South London as part of their coaching staff.

And he’s been through a fair bit in that time. He moved back to Australia shortly after the death of his brother Ben, created a TV show, started his own business, was declared bankrupt, was a boxer and cage fighter, and more recently, coached around the world, from Queensland, to Afghanistan to Pakistan.

There's chat on everything that's happened between leaving Surrey and coming back home, and a bit on his time before then too, as one of the most successful captains in the history of English domestic cricket.

We're doing another live show, this time in Birmingham! Details here: https://bit.ly/WCWPLiveShow0924

Yas Rana and Phil Walker reflect on a thrilling first day in Ranchi, headlined by Joe Root's 31st Test century.

Akash Deep made an immediate impression on debut, dismissing England's top three in a stunning new ball burst, before Bairstow and Stokes both fell to spin to leave England 112-5 at lunch.

The afternoon belonged to Root though, who knuckled down and cleverly crafted one of the best centuries of his glittering Test career in tricky conditions.

Ben Foakes played brilliantly at the other end for his 47, while Tom Hartley and Ollie Robinson also offered important resistance.

England finished the day on 302-7, with Root unbeaten on 106*.
