Kaz has a visitor, and Rob wants to talk strategy.

The cricket team prepare for Ambridge's friendly match against Darrington. Most are in a competitive mood, but Adam isn't feeling his usual self. He hasn't spoken to Ian who always seems to be out with friends. Adam wonders if it would be better to move away. Harrison thinks this is a bit drastic and Adam agrees that Ian is worth fighting for.

Helen visits Kaz in prison. Kaz learns that Rob has contact time with Jack. Helen admits she finds this difficult but it is harder for Tony who is supervising Rob's contact with Jack. Helen admits she hasn't started divorce proceedings yet. Kaz urges Helen to get Rob out of her life.

Rob arrives at the cricket expecting to play but no one wants him there. Harrison tells Rob a unanimous decision was taken to remove him from the team. It takes a slow hand clap from the team to make him leave. Later, Rob tries to talk strategy with the team captain but Harrison makes it clear that Rob's input is not wanted.

Ambridge win against Darrington. Johnny, Adam and Roy tell Harrison he's a great captain. Harrison modestly says that a captain is only as good as his players.
