From samurai armour to rare wildlife, this episode explores remarkable collections and the experts preserving them.

And at Calke Abbey in Derbyshire, specialists protect historic taxidermy collections

England v New Zealand. Action from day three of the First Test in the three-match series, held at Lord's.

This contest is likely to serve as a good test, as the Bolivians only missed out on the finals themselves after losing out to Iraq in the play-offs, having finished one place outside the automatic qualifying places in the notoriously difficult CONMEBOL group
