Euros Exclusive: Will England miss Mary Earps? & Is 5-day cricket too long?

The moment England women lifted the Euros trophy, ending all those years of hurt, is etched in our memories. Next week, they defend that title. So Mark spoke to two stars of the England team, Lauren Hemp and Niamh Charles, in an exclusive interview at St George's Park.

Who's going to step up as leaders with Mary Earps and Millie Bright missing? What's do they like most about Sarina Wiegman's coaching? And have you heard of this card game they're all obsessed with?

And as the England men's cricket team pull off one of their best ever comebacks in the first Test against India, Mark chats to ex-England cricketer Steven Finn and The Telegraph's Tim Wigmore.

Tim's book, "Test Cricket: A History" is out now!
