To get out like that just before lunch is totally unforgivable Apart from one innings Pope has been a massive disappointment this series. He can have no complaints if Brook replaces him this summer.

What made it worse was he clearly wasn’t picking him. So running down the wicket is absolutely idiotic
"Bang/bang" as they say. Root just manages to get in a review before he is timed out and wastes a second one. Separated at birth for wasting reviews - Bairstow and Root!
197 v 199 but to be fair to Stokes he has had a couple of pea rollers. No excuse though for the overall performance of our batsmen. Not converting 20s and 30s into 50s or turning 50s into 100s. Crawley has been our best and by far our most consistent batter but on four occasions he has got to 60 but failed to reach 80 each time.
There is something not very England since Cook retired about us having so many excellent opening partnerships between Crawley and Duckett but then 3 downwards failing far more often than not.

I am hoping Crawley follows Roots career where he was known for getting 50’s and not converting and then suddenly started smashing in the tons
