Mark wood the enforcer - 85mph. Bizarre tactics from England.
From what I’ve seen of wood - he’s overrated

Root has always been suspect against the moving ball.

For me to counter that you move him back to 4 where he wants to be. You bring in a 2&3 (Two of Jennings/Gubbins/Burns).

I’d also question Malans place

Cook
Burns/Gubbins
Jennings
Root
Hildreth/Malan/Clarke
Bairstow
Stokes
Bess(Leach)
S. Curran
Broad
Anderson

Wood looks knackered after 2 overs

Bairstow twice? ;) Agree Malan hasn't offered much the past few games, would seem harsh to drop him though. Hildreth would definitely be a good man to bring in. If Butter is going to play I'd bat him 5, Bairstow at 7. Team needs a shake up you suspect so heads are going to have to roll at some point.

I don't agree that there isn't talent around, they just not being given a chance. Gubbins, Clarke and S Curran are just a few. They need to identify young players with the right temperament to succeed and get them in.

Yes banging it into the centre of the pitch will tire out any bowler, he actually looks fed up to be honest. At least he is not faking it.

I would seriously question banging the ball in which is what he has been told to do as village cricket.

As said....the lack of any clear thinking as much as anything is costing us.

An experienced head wouldn't go amiss, the Chris Rogers route.

beaten before lunch on the 4th day. A drastic change is needed especially with the ashes coming up. I agree with calzehbhoy but would leave Jennings out.

Agree with that as Bumble mentioned in commentary about the ages of off spinners coming into their prime. Whats wrong with picking a proven county batsman around the 27-30 mark to work with what we already have

Should be as easy a series win at home in recent times. Pakistan don't have any top class players

Enjoy your humble pie

Some of the comments on a forum with normally some very good knowledge in the last week have been downright embarrassing.

The same noises were made about: Lyth, Robson, Hales, Jennings, Stoneman, Rashid. Ball, Wood...

I felt sure Buttler would go early this morning.
