Today has been a disgracefully bad display. One of the worst I’ve seen. They’re going to have to do something remarkable to correct this slide.
The batting is nothing short of an embarrassment. I have some sympathy for the bowlers, they put in one stellar performance to correct the first innings, but they couldn’t do it twice with no rest.
I’m astonished by how dense that Root, Brook, and Pope were. They’ve put us on course for series failure today through their inability to read the moment.
