Former England fast bowler Steven Finn has turned his attention in his latest BBC Sport column to England's fast bowling trio, analysing how Ollie Robinson, Gus Atkinson and Josh Tongue could operate together.

According to Finn, each of them fulfils a distinct role in the attack – there is a leader, a supporting force, and the so-called X-factor, or unpredictable element. Understanding this distribution of roles is essential for fast bowlers to achieve success in cricket.

Robinson, Atkinson and Tongue represent a new generation in English cricket, and developing their collective partnership is one of the most important tasks for the squad in the upcoming matches.
