Averaging 7.5 for the first wicket. Christ.

Does Root fancy opening. He basically ends up doing it every game anyway.

Well done bowlers!

This is beyond embarrassing now. Just have to hope this leads to some significant changes.

I'm talking about the England test set up more widely, rather than just rotating players in and out of the team for this series.

Review the coaching personnel, the selection group, the approach to integrating new players into the side, etc. Not suggesting it's a silver bullet but I don't think anyone is going to suggest they're getting the best out of what they have currently.

WI in Feb could be interesting. Will be fascinating to see how much change can actually be delivered.

It will be interesting whether the ECB bury their heads in the sand and just write this off as another Ashes away lose. Or actually try and do something about it and sack some people, change some structures etc....

It wouldn't surprise me if they do nothing

Just watching the end of play and brief highlights this morning, I'm not sure I'd be too harsh on the top order in this innings. That's just some very good bowling in very difficult conditions. Not that it excuses anything which has gone before.

This series will be written off. We will compete, possibly win, in WI. ECB will claim there is nothing to see. If change isn't implemented by WI matches, there lies danger in false lessons from the Carribbean and home summer.

Love seeing the big Victorian Scotty Boland ripping out a couple of poles!
Root hiding at 4, despite the peasants batting in the top 3. Shows he only cares about stat padding. The lack of heart from Root epitomises the English team.
