Sibley’s preshot movement would terrify me if I was relying on him to keep his wicket safe.
Yes I know the likes of Lara and Smith had/have much wilder initial movements but they are exceptional talents.

Haha just went for the two players who came to mind with their technique pre-delivery.

Best moment was the SA spitting out his gum and it sticking to his beard 
3 of the top 4 getting out in the 30s when set on the first innings on this pitch is absolutely criminal
With 3 making 30 absolutely no excuse to not be 300/3 at the end of the day

Mentally weak as a test team and just dont have the ability to bat for long periods of time without doing something stupid sadly
For 30 balls Root made it look far too easy then just pressed the self destruct button and could have been out 3 times over, Denly has batted 3 hours then missed a slow straight one from a slow left armer whos doing nothing with it
Would be nice to see Stokes and Pope bat together fora few hours but not holding my breath

Stokes looks like he has loads of time. Pulling balls on the high 80’s with ease. Also was too quick on one at 91mph.

Another start, another rubbish shot. This batting line up are so frustrating to watch!

This is something I notice that's different between real English and American English.
In American English, "batting line up" is singular, and we'd say "is so frustrating to watch!"
In English English, "batting line up" refers to multiple people so you say "are so frustrating to watch!"
Interesting to me, anyway.

Surely Anderson should be batting 10 with a Broad as jack
