Archer looks like he’s become Steven Finn. Instead of focusing of pace he’s now concentrating on control. I’d rather archer take 5-60 of 10 overs, that 2-45 off 20 overs. He’s a strike bowler not a stock bowler

Steve Finn had to go back to Middlesex and Richard Johnson to rebuild his action. I'm a Middlesex fan it's my County but that was not England coaching a finest hour....I think that is an understatement  :)

What would Woakes have to do to get the second new ball?! Root does bizarre things at times.

Then it's up to the skipper and the coaching team to give him those instructions and set fields accordingly. Can't blame a bowler if he is, presumably, executing the instructions he has been given.

Played well and deserved it. He has put in some time at the wicket for his team.

Kick Anderson or broad in the groin...

Sorry but that’s nonsense. You think Tim Paine has to tell Starc to bowl fast?

In Pakistan I see a seasoned side that has learned a lot from their last tour here, and has developed significantly. I'm not sure the same can be said for England... Perhaps we've gone sideways instead of forwards. Long way to go yet though.
