From the Guardian.

He's having a nightmare. His form is almost unbelievably bad.

on the matter of slow over rates, only 83 overs were bowled yesterday according to the scorecard, and yet only 4 wickets fell in the day

and there were 14 overs of slow bowling

must have been very slow bowling

Is it form or just complete lack of talent?

Or both

Takes gabriel 25 mins to bowl an over

Runs in from the boundary, follows through to the batsman's end then casually strolls back to his mark

when he was a Durham player it was form

when he abandoned ship and went to Lancs it was lack of talent.... good riddance!

Bairstow has been paying attention in class. Two runs in seventy minutes.

Not sure where he’s sitting. Roach goes wide of the crease and Bairstow is bowled again.

All out 277..

Went to do half an hour's exercise and they've been skittled.

Must need more bowlers that can bat.

a bit surprising. It's not as if England do this a lot.

WI openers seeing the new ball off nicely. 50 opening partnership is up and at over 3 an over so England must be bowling particularly well
