Bumble wraps up the second Test at Old Trafford by talking Moeen Ali, Pakistan's trouble with bounce, and tattoos on the Sky Cricket Podcast.

England smashed Pakistan by 330 runs at Emirates Old Trafford to draw level in the four-match series - Joe Root's 254 setting the hosts up before Chris Woakes starred again with the ball.

David Lloyd reflected on an impressive performance from the hosts, looking closely at the contribution of Moeen Ali, who took five wickets across both Pakistan's innings with his off-spin.

The Sky Cricket expert discussed the tourists' woes against the rising ball, something they rarely encounter in their adopted home of the UAE, a place where they beat England last winter.

Plus, with the inaugural Kia Women's Super League starting this weekend, Bumble chatted about his local side Lancashire Thunder - which moved him on to the subject of body ink.

We also caught up with Nasser Hussain to chat about Root and the other Old Trafford centurion, Alastair Cook, with Nas describing the batsmen as "two of England's best ever".

Hussain mulled over other topics, too, including how England cope if Ben Stokes' calf injury proves to be serious and how Cook's side operated against Pakistan leg-spinner Yasir Shah in Manchester.
