Ben and Yas are joined by Matt Roller to discuss the start of England's white-ball tour of New Zealand. They chat about Phil Salt and Harry Brook's fireworks in Christchurch and England's best XI before moving on to some more Ashes preview content, one of the most wholesome letters we've ever received and much, much more.
