Sky Cricket Podcast: We hear from Hope, Brathwaite, Willis and Holding

Analysis and reaction from Windies' stunning win at Headingley

Sky Cricket Podcast

Few watching live at Headingley or on the television will forget Windies' momentous five-wicket win over England in the second Test, a result Bob Willis described as "amazing".

Bob said that on The Verdict - which you can download as a podcast here - where we also heard from Windies' match-winner Shai Hope, the first man to hit two tons in the same first-class match at Leeds; the captains, Joe Root and Jason Holder; and England coach Trevor Bayliss.

Former Windies seamer Michael Holding helped Bob dissect a dramatic Test turnaround in the studio, after Windies were thrashed by an innings and 209 runs in the day-night Test at Edgbaston a little over a week earlier.
