Farewell to England's Quiet Colossus

Reflections on Alastair Cook's career, the D'Oliveira affair and NZ coach Gary Stead.

As opening batsman Alastair Cook bows out at the Oval, we speak to Ian Bell, who played alongside him in more than 100 Test matches.

We turn the clock back 50 years to revisit the Basil D'Oliveira affair, when one man became the symbol of sport's opposition to South Africa's apartheid regime.

And New Zealand coach Gary Stead targets World Cup glory in 2019.
