Sam Curran isn't ready to play test cricket, looks a bit lost to me, he's not even looked close to getting a wicket.
Yeah I’d say it’s pretty harsh. I’ve never had the impression that Cook or Jimmy don’t put the hard yards in.

Lead is 170 now which is massive in these conditions, we could easily win by an innings from here. The real problem is that, with broad just gone, Buttler might run out of partners.
Way Bairstow has started they’ll not need anywhere near 50 overs.
