Watched the last hour this morning. Agree we bowled too short at times. Thought we were a bit unlucky - NZ rode their luck. If anything Root tried too hard - switching the bowling every couple of minutes. Piss poor losing a series to NZ.

Yeah, not a great start and some poor shot selection.....again.
Cook going well, though which is good to see. Hopefully he can go and and get a big score as he was atrocious during the winter tours.

Saw that.
Why bat? May test at Lords under cloudy sky and quite humid!

Brainless, damp and overcast at Lords and we chose to bat, Pakistan will be one up within 4 days.

Not sure abt that. I think this decision was based on what the weather will do tomorrow.

Pakistan always seem to do bowl well against us think we in trouble if we don’t get 300 batting going to be a lot better tomorrow.
