declared sooner than I expected so they could have a little spell this evening and 2 big wickets down already. WI look knackered now, I think Englands extra fitness and the bit of rotation we've done with the bowlers has made a massive difference.

I suppose the the batting second was a negative tactic not wanting to lose and, if it all went pair shaped, knowing what they have to do to save the game. At 122-4 with Stokes, Root, Sibley and Burns all back in the hutch, with Pope and Buttler at the crease it looked an ok call.
Great little fact, Broad got his 500th wicket bowling the same guy that Anderson got for his 500th.
