It’s almost like we should have batted better first time

Two days in the field on a hot day, when the pitch's
As I said on day two, this team's problem lately is less not having a platform and more not exploiting it by going big. We have too many batsmen content to knock over 40-70 and think that's alright. In the Ashes we actually got a few platforms, but couldn't kick on.
If we lose this game, the shots Stokes and Pope played early day two are where it's lost. Also, Stokes dropping Watling and Leach generally being shite. Couldn't hold an end down, seamers f***ing broke themselves.
Aye, but it's so soft and slow, you can dig out the grubbers probably.
It's been a very poor pitch in all honesty.
What the actual fuck was that? Woeful.

New Zealand will be delighted with that.

He's looked awful. I'm honestly hoping for Burns to rack up big tons this winter, because Root needs relieving of the burden and there's nobody else.
No. Not Ben. Didn't work with Botham or Flintoff, it's too much.

Joe Root what the actually fuck is that.
Someone needs to have a pair of balls and strip him of the captaincy. So he can go back to being our best batsman again.

Aye. April
Buttler would get my vote for captain. Root was a horrendous choice, never a captain as long as he has a hole in his arse

England will crumble quickly now I think
Need to try and manage this better - keep the left-hander away from Santner.
Just seen a reply of Root's shot - wow! You'd get hammered for something like that back in the old Senior League

I understand the need to defend and see out the day, but couldn't we at least have a semblance of keeping the score ticking over? Having them getting more and more concerned as the day wore on, as 1 or 2 an over became 3 or 4, would take at least some of the pressure off.
