I have to be honest, I don't think this is the worst performance from England.

There I have said it.

Batting was nervous on the first morning, but to recover to get almost 400 was a good effort.

The bowling has been patchy, but shows signs of life. Wood looks good, Stokes will be dangerous when he gets a 2nd slip who can catch. Broad and Anderson DoD what you expect.

Cook's technique looks much better. Ballance has some thinking to do and we need an opener to stick around, buy Lyth has to get a run. A little part of me thinks they have picked the wrong Yorkshire opener.

Yes we will do well to get somethingfrom this game, but I Am more optimistic about the team than I have been for a while.

Seeing them square up to an odious member in the pavilion yesterday has got me thinking.

@Buzz Lees will replace Cook, don't you think – rather than bat with him?

Bell going at the ball half-hearted and not the start England were looking for. Top first over from Southee

A great century from a truly phenomenal player, just when his team needed it. Cook really looks to have improved his technique from last year. England just need him to convert to a daddy hundred now!
