Does Cook have any self respect? He's been trash for ages now and shows no signs of getting back to even semi decent level. He should call it quits. Gets dropped by Pujara, promptly edges behind again two balls later

Who are you picking instead? Been a while since any of the other openers tried have made a double ton!

If you're going to drop Malan for not scoring runs and dropping loads in the slips, then Jennings deserves the exact same treatment

It's not about scoring a double hundred it's about consistency. Cook's shown many times in the past he can feast against the hapless Windies whom are one of the weakest sides around. Also his double hundred in Melbourne was more due to the pitch not bouncing higher than ankle height and Starc being injured.

No doubt England had the best batting conditions and bowling conditions in the first 2 games. The reverse in this game and they’re 6 down

Seeing YJB getting out of the way he is did, I wonder if how other Eng batsmen would’ve fared against Jimmy Anderson on Lords.

Woakes' hype just burst what an idiotic shot.

We could have had them here too but for Root's unfathomable decision to have a bowl on a flat, dry wicket on a clear day.  He needs to make a meaningful score in the second innings otherwise he will rightfully cop a lot of flak for letting a team that were down and out a week ago back into this series

I feel at moments like this it’s only appropriate to pick my own imaginary England team.

Cook
Burns
Bairstow
Root
Pope
Woakes/Stokes
Buttler (wkt)
Woakes
Broad
Leach
Anderson

Ok, who are you picking to replace him for consistency?

Looks like he might too score here ;)
