Nz have to bat last, so with a decent partnership here and a 150 runs target, game is on.

This is absolutely pathetic. Bracey has had a total nightmare.

It's a disgrace that Buttler, Bairstow and Woakes are playing in the T20.

lol, being optimistic with that one last stand (and a chance for Bracey to use the situation to make his case), but after 6 down, I give up :)

English red ball cricket is rotten to the core. Poor standard county championship, jobs for the boys throughout the ECB, and a ridiculous selection policy. Don’t even get me started on rotation.

Silverwood is out of his depth. Said it from day one, and I don’t think my opinion is likely to change anytime soon.

Given the performance England have subjected us to, I think CBF should temporarily remove the swear filter, so we can allow our true feelings be known.

I blame the selectors. Bring back Ed Smith.

You suspect there will be some changes now but as ever...the quality waiting to play may not be good enough.
The younger batters will be a difficult call.

I know Foakes is injured but I forever wonder why the batting of him gets questioned at test level

When you see what’s going on in the football right now, it kind of puts a crap batting performance in to perspective.

It does of course that footballer is up and awake thankfully just reported on BBC.

It doesn't excuse England thou, the question is where from here? Stick or twist with new players....batsmen anyway, do we have anyone better.

Before the series started the management spoke about gearing for the ashes, preparation for the ashes...

We must must must somehow STOP this inane rubbish, New Zealand and India await, if we don't get good results at home is unrealistic to expect we turn up and turn over Aussies our in their own backyard-it won't happen.

Off the top of my head this is what I think

Bracey.  Looks frightened. Not the first he won't be the last but he can't be in the team or near it.

Burns. Stick. He gets runs.
Sibley. Stick. More time needed and no obvious replacement. Hameed needs a good season behind him.
Crawley...reluctantly twist, time out away and back to County.
Pope...hmmmm. Tricky. Massive potential, not enough runs. Stick for a bit longer.
Lawrence. Stick. When he's in looks to play his shots, unorthodox he appears confident enough.
Root. A shoe in our best by miles.
Stokes. Back in ASAP.
Foakes. Back in asap.
Buttler back in id rather Foakes kept but you could make an argument he might play as a batsman.
Leach. Hot dry conditions should of played.

We can't blame the bowlers again they did alright, if catches were held it would of been even on first innings.

Silverwood needs to get a grip, and quick.

Malan is an option, may just get an Ashes trip in the winter, but let's forget about he Ashes  :)

Absolutely agree with this. We under performed first innings we should have had 450+ on the board. With key players from the last few yewrs missing we are heavily relying on the same 1 or 2 players.

I know it's strange times with bubbles etc but it feels this 2 match series has been taken far too lightly. Momentum is key going into the winter down under.
I'd be interested to hear the thoughts of YJB etc on playing t20 blast instead of getting back in the test side.
