To be fair, Mayers has been bowling well, but he's not overly quick.

Hopefully it shows that the pitch has something about it to produce a result.

Can we put this down to captaincy?

I can't see anyone feasible as a replacement right now. Half the team are trying to establish their place in the squad and several are just not suited to be skipper.

I think Root was on trial for this series with Strauss. To see if there was improvement to work with.

The problem we have I think is a change of Captain now may not see an improvement in performances.

Plus I don’t know who else would be any good in the current team.

A loss here might pose a few questions when the team return home.

And Root is? Really? He injures bowlers. Get Abell in from Somerset. Anyone but Root.

I’m regretting subscribing to this misery lol

Not particularly but it's hardly progress to replace him with someone equally bad who's less sure of their place in the team.

I do have a soft spot for Abell, but it's definitely too radical for the ECB to bring someone in to skipper.

Part of me would love them to give it to Stokes and see how he goes. He did seem a more natural skipper in the Pakistan ODI series.

Craig Overton is currently our second highest runscorer! Fantastic...
