Radio Sport Breakfast

BBC cricket commentator Simon Mann and gives us his thoughts on the English squad ahead of this afternoon's day-night test against the Black Caps at Eden Park.Mann says how Ben Stokes has recovered from his back injury is crucial to England's chances today."He hasn't been able to bowl very much, so there's a bit of a question mark there."He is so important to this England side. I see him as five cricketers in one, because he doesn't just bat, bowl and field - he also gives balance and sense of aggression to the team. He's such an important player."Can England afford to risk to carry Stokes if he is too under-done?LISTEN ABOVE AS SIMON MANN SPEAKS WITH THE RADIO SPORT BREAKFASTSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
