It is almost if if they aren’t prepared for what to do when things go wrong, like all of their playing experience upto this point is meaningless and irrelivent

Inexperienced team? Root captaincy? It was shocking. You have to assume the coach helped with the tactics in the morning.

It ask means Stokes will be forgiven and rushed back.

Strange game as so many got in and did not go on for both sides. Only Phillips.

And just play Ahmed. He will surely be more danger than Bashir. Ok I get holding an end up but it’s about wickets.

He can bat too. Makes no sense not to give him a run.

Also, it’s funny when you first see a player play test cricket. You kinda know if they will make it. Cox yes. Rew no.

Sonny Baker. What are the coaches doing? Bowls from 2 feet behind the crease. Both innings. Inept coaching.

Saved me turning the television on to follow it.

Been watching the GB hopefuls in the Wimbledon qualifiers on my iPad instead.

Oh dear.

Agree with the BBC pundits that the German goal should not have counted

Should at least avoid the follow on but England love their collapses

Is it just my imagination or does Root have a habit of getting out very early in sessions or when he’s been not-out overnight?

Hope I am not turning into Geoffrey Boycott but why do all England batsmen feel they have to play at every ball…
