Not watching it or really following the commentary, but whilst not losing wickets they don't seem to be scoring runs either, is it just a shit batting wicket?

They're scoring at almost 4 an over, that's fast for anyone not England over the last 12 months. Pitch is a little on the slow side, over rate is very poor. |

Does Root’s one good over show a slight problem with selection for the second Test?

Death, taxes, Steve Smith hundreds.
We've done okay this morning, I'm a bit concerned that this isn't anything like a 400 pitch though. We'll need to bat well.

Lyon looks to have done a calf running in to take a catch. Is that the McGrath-steps-on-a-ball moment?

Green is bowling them at a rate that makes the English bowlers look neat and tidy! |

Just throwing away wickets, frustrating to watch.

We've become a team of Kevin Pietersens, which is brilliant... most of the time. |

We were 180/1 when Nathan Lyon went off injured, we could have easily taken a lead into the second innings, whilst still playing BazBall. |

Oh it's been stupid as all hell but this is the rough that comes with the smooth I fear. I don't think they think you *can* play smart Bazball. They'll just say that the execution was wrong not the intention.

Trouble is, we go 2.0 here, which at the moment is looking likely, then you could say that’s series over. |

Harry Brook batted like a number 11 in a village team. Very disappointing from a player with obvious talent. |
