England v Sri Lanka: "Which captain gives away their wicket more cheaply, Pope or Stokes?"

WATCH: Chief correspondent GEORGE DOBELL, staff reporter OSCAR RESS, and Murali End podcast's MARK MACHADO answer questions after England beat Sri Lanka at Old Trafford

The Cricketer's chief correspondent George Dobell and staff reporter Oscar Ress are joined by Mark Machado from the Murali End podcast to answer questions on who replaces Mark Wood, whether it was worth the risk to play Wood at Old Trafford and who decides the player of the match award.
