The inside story of England's tour of Pakistan

We hear about the strict security measures in place to protect England鈥檚 players on their first Pakistan tour since 2005.

On this week鈥檚 Stumped with Alison Mitchell, Jim Maxwell and Charu Sharma, we speak to a journalist staying in England鈥檚 team hotel during their first tour of Pakistan for 17 years. Nick Hoult, the chief cricket correspondent for the Telegraph, shares his experience of watching England鈥檚 win in Karachi with security armed with sniper rifles surrounding the press box.

We also discuss the inaugural auction for Cricket South Africa's SA20 league and ask whether the inexperienced Tristan Stubbs is worthy of being the most expensive player in the competition.

Plus, we hear about what cricket's like in the small European country of Montenegro. The national side even boast a former English Premier League footballer amongst its ranks!
