Tuffers and Vaughan: Stokes, sweepstakes and Shafali Verma

Eleanor Oldroyd is joined by Michael Vaughan and Alex Hartley to discuss all the big talking points from a busy week of cricket. They react to England's Euro 2020 final defeat by Italy, and share their thoughts on the racist abuse aimed at some of the players in the aftermath and the violent behaviour of some supporters outside Wembley. Elly speaks to England's stand-in men's ODI captain Ben Stokes after they wrapped up a series win over Pakistan. Stokes reflects on the impressive performances of the players called up at short notice due to the team's Covid outbreak, how he's coping with a finger injury, what he's made of being captain and his advice for England's footballers. England opener Tammy Beaumont also drops by to chat about the women's multi-format series with India which is finely poised before the final T20 match. They talk about the sensational performance of India's 17-year-old batter Shafali Verma, the weight of expectation on youngsters coming through and the pressure that Danni Wyatt is under after some low scores.
