Eleanor Oldroyd and guests Graeme Swann, Rebecca Adlington and Kim Little debate life after professional sport, attracting younger fans and England v The Netherlands.

From the fourth Test between England and South Africa, Eleanor Oldroyd is live from Old Trafford Cricket Ground to debate the week's big issues in sport.

Olympic gold medal winning badminton player Gail Emms frankly opened up about her financial and mental health struggles since retiring as a full-time athlete. How do athletes prepare for a career after sport? And what can be done to help them make better transitions?

For almost a decade, Usain Bolt has electrified track and field. But as he sprints out of the starting blocks for the last time at this year's World Athletic Championships, how do sports stay relevant when iconic stars retire? And how do they attract younger fans in an increasingly competitive social and digital media landscape?

Joining Eleanor to discuss these issues and more are: former England cricketer Graeme Swann, retired freestyle swimmer Rebecca Adlington and Arsenal Midfielder, Kim Little.

Plus in a sizzling summer for women's sport, the panel give their verdict on England's performance in last night's Women's Euro's semi-final.
