I think getting bounced out by Colin De Grandhomme might be a new low for him...

Really don’t think Root can do both jobs, he lacks an instinct for skippering and I’m struggling to recall anything recent where he showed dominance and influenced a series....

It’s a shame but I just don’t think he is cut out for two jobs.

How did Boult injury happen?  Cricinfo says pain in the ribs.

That was the strange decision by Buttler  :o

Edit: Congratulation New Zealand on an outstanding win and showing how to bat long in a Test Match.

That was a diabolical performance from start to finish. Unbelievably bad.

Wow! I missed out on all the action.

Benji is captain material. Said that before, saying it now. Root should focus on runs and records.

A new captain with the same focus and commitment as Morgan will do the trick for England. Pick an inexperienced guy with some fight in him and groom him a'la Graeme Smith.

2nd best test team for a reason

What's the pitch like in Hamilton? We might be better off getting Mahmood into the xi

Lost to the better team of course but Jesus Christ that was embarrassing. Stupid dismissals galore.

Would have to be Buttler, Broad or Burns. Trouble is that none of them really have their spot in the team nailed down at the moment. Broad's probably too old anyway, but if Burns or Buttler start to score heavy runs then Root will be under much more pressure. Think Buttler's improving rapidly as a test player so not totally out of the question, but would be good if he got a chance to bat with someone other than Leach...

The worrying thing with Root is that he seems to be getting worse, with bat and as captain. Early days for this new reboot though, not overly surprised by the result given that NZ are very good. Shame it's only one more test, I reckon this England side only has three absolute definite picks at the moment so would be good to see some extra names added to that! Wonder if they'll roll the dice a little and give Mahmood a go.

Any changes for the second test?  1 run and no wickets for Broad isn't too hot (although he didn't go for many)?

Do we need Curran and Stokes (is stokes fit to bowl)?

2 spinners?

Mahmood in for the next test?
