Our bowling attack is just not good enough. Anderson and Broad lack pace but they bowl a good line and length and pick up wickets and don't concede many runs. Moeen just can't spin the ball. Woakes and Ball are just slow and don't seem capable of bowling 6 deliveries in the same area. Ball especially has been poor bowling 82mph "bouncers" to an in form Steve Smith. If they can't skittle the tail without letting them add 100+ runs we might as well just go home now.

This match has gone now, going to stop following. Jake Ball? FFS. Might show an interest if they bother to pick a decent team for the second test.

England could do with something from Cook here.
Still very much in this.
Hell of a knock by Smith.
