Squad: Joe Root (Yorkshire), James Anderson (Lancashire), James Bracey (Gloucestershire), Stuart Broad (Nottinghamshire), Rory Burns (Surrey), Zak Crawley (Kent), Ben Foakes (Surrey), Dan Lawrence (Essex), Jack Leach (Somerset), Craig Overton (Somerset), Ollie Pope (Surrey), Ollie Robinson (Sussex), Dom Sibley (Warwickshire), Olly Stone (Warwickshire), Mark Wood (Durham)

Think missing that all rounder in the middle but Overton has put on a few runs this summer so far

Don’t think it’s too much of a surprise

No spinner

or the top wicket taker so far in Overton - what a shock ?

Well thats one way to start your test career with a century at Lords on debut :) Well batted Devon Conway, congrats.

Not surprisingly, Englands one dimensional attack looking very err 1 dimensional on a slow flat Lords deck. Im sure Root thinks if he looks round the field often enough he'll find that he did pick a spinner after all :D

New Zealand are such a quiet, unassuming side that you dont realise just how good some of their players have performed in recent times. The likes of BJ Watling and Tom Latham have fantastic averages in the last 2-3 years that had they played for one of the big 3 they'd have been raved about for ages.

Superb from Conway- should be a good addition to our squad ?

The pitch is always going to be flat there with no overcast conditions so what did Root do - 4 seamers.

Make that 200 at Lords on debut, very well batted sir!

Some comeback from England today despite Conways stunning innings, real shame they didnt have the option of a spinner to go to yesterday to exert some control. Now in danger of undoing it all with Wagner making it look easy at no 11 haha

4 overs short on day 1 was bad enough, 8 overs short on day 2. Fans getting short changed as per usual and no one cares and you get clowns like Rob Key defending the pitiful over rates and attempts to manage it

Bring back banning skippers or give them proper penalties, financial and runs

Hell yes. 90 overs in 6 hours 30 should be straightforward enough.
