Is India's head coach Gautam Gambhir feeling the pressure?

India's head coach, Gautam Gambhir, clashed with groundsman Lee Fortis ahead of series defining 5th Test against England.

Alison Mitchell, Sunil Gupta and Jim Maxwell discuss whether India head coach Gautam Gambhir is feeling the pressure. It's after he was seen arguing with the Oval's head groundsman, Lee Fortis, ahead of the fifth and final Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. Out of their last 10 matches ahead of the Oval test, India have lost six and won two. We also ask what long term impact Ben Stokes' shoulder injury may have on England after he was ruled out for six to seven weeks.

We debate where Joe Root ranks among the greatest men’s batters of all time after he moved up to second on the all-time list of Test run scorers. This week’s guest, cricket writer and broadcaster, Jarrod Kimber, tells the show that Root’s ability to get off strike when under pressure is his 'super skill' and the best in modern cricket.

And we hear from former India women's captain Mithali Raj as we build up to this September's World Cup.
