Rob Key, England's managing director, was at The Oval on Thursday morning to discuss the fall-out from Ben Stokes and Gus Atkinson's decision to break team curfew by celebrating England's 115-run win over New Zealand at Lord's at Rex Rooms, the Chelsea nightclub.

On the Switch Hit podcast, Vithushan Ehantharajah joined Matt Roller in the stands at The Oval to bring us to speed with the latest developments in the saga that has engulfed English cricket this week. Will Stokes ever captain England again? Where does this leave Brook? And will New Zealand be licking their lips at the prospect of playing a weakened side?
