Even as an England fan I'm gutted for Axar there.

Bairstow should never ever again be anywhere near this test side.

It’s a new ball it’s not going to turn for gods sake

Bairstow shouldn’t play for the test team ever again. He has NO defensive technique whatsoever. How can a supposed international cricketer leave a gap as huge as that, especially after receiving a get out of jail free card the ball before.

Both ex tear openers said you play for the straight ball early on and if it turns well that’s just one of those things. So first ball he plays a cross bat shot against the spin and it goes straight on and then second ball he plays for spin with a huge gap and it goes straight on.
As was just said if you can’t trust or don’t have a defensive game you can’t bat in the top order at any level let alone this pinnacle of the sport.

Don't disagree with you mate, just funny how I read your comment as I watched the ball to Root is all 😅

The turning balls didn’t get either of these two out or many of Patels first innings wickets either, it’s the arm balls that have picked up wickets.

Just brain dead batting from England.  Also with just a short leg I have no idea where this keep playing back has come from

To be fair, Cook then immediately said that goes out of the window, play for turn after the Crawley dismissal. Then you have everybody above saying Bairstow should come out and play an aggressive cameo then getting annoyed when he sweeps his first ball. I think just accept that this is horrendously difficult, most will fail and hopefully a few will succeed.
