Runs coming far too easily at the moment.

Looking pretty unthreatening at the moment.

No movement at all for the seamers and Moeen not bowling well enough.

I think we’ve bowled quite poorly. It’s pretty loose.

Some of the comments here prove my point from earlier.

Runs coming far too easily at the moment.

Big wicket. Warner had the potential to wipe the deficit out quickly.

(not picking on you there, they're just the 2 that reflect it best).

By counter-attacking they created worry, yes we've got wickets at good times but by being more aggressive early in a partnership you do create an uncertainty which leads to:

Why is the field so spread?

I'm not saying it's the only way to respond, I'm just pointing out that, in my opinion, it what we should've done when Bairstow and Moeen came in, I'd have preferred them getting 20 from 25 and out more than 8 and 0 respectively.

I’m not convinced we can get Smith out.

Moeen is going to have to bowl a hell of a lot better tomorrow.
