If we continue playing Bazball then we will end up losing the series 5-0. What's surprising is there has been no proper warm up matches except the match against the Lions. I feel sorry for fans who have gone out there and had tickets for day 3/4/5. This was a test match and both innings lasted a total of 66 overs, this isn't the hundred or T20. If you lose 3 or 4 wickets early on then it's on the players to build up a partnership by getting 1s and 2s and not this hit and hope rubbish.

Travis Head getting 123 off 83 balls has to be applauded though he has played England at their own game.

I'm surprised that Luis Reece at Derbyshire didn't get called up because he took 10 wickets for the first time against Gloucestershire 6/52 and 4/45 at the start of the season and in the last match of the season against Kent he scored 211 and took 5/63 or I might just be biased by saying that. The England selector/s in my opinion are picking the wrong players. There are a lot of decent players in Division 2 and even some at Division 1 county teams getting overlooked.
