England pulled one back in the Ashes with a tense three-wicket win at Headingley, keeping their chances of reclaiming the urn alive with two to play. Mark Wood was Player of the Match and man of the moment, while Chris Woakes hit the winning runs on his comeback to prevent Australia taking an unassailable lead. On this week's Switch, Alan Gardner was joined by Andrew McGlashan and Vithushan Ehantharajah to discuss Wood's rockets, an unexpected Mitchell Marsh hundred, whether England's allrounders can bring a better balance and which team has more issues going to Manchester.
