    Something weird going on with cricket recently - lots of excitement but very little quality.

    We should bring Mike Brearley back again. A proper captain, and he surely couldn't do worse than Cook with the bat.

    Root and Ali are surviving, but the runs have dried up - 12 in the last 10 overs.

    No need to push it yet still two sessions to go, if these two can stay there until lunch then we have a chance, but as you've seen in this match once a wicket goes down its quickly followed 2 more.

    What a mug prior they set him up & he took the bait, no need for that plenty of time & scored quick after lunch, stokes has got no form but now the time is for him to gets some.

    Surely this has to be the end for Cook (and Prior).

    Moores failed once as England coach and they bring him back for a 2nd go. The decision makers are ruining the team with a clueless captain who must surely be sacked now.

    KP must be laughing his head off...

    That was as pathetic and inept batting display that I have seen for a very long time.

    No desire to grind it out. No heart;no soul.

    drop Bell, Prior for Morgan, Buttler. Stokes for Jordan/Woakes.

    I'd give Cook till the end of the Summer as there are no other candidates playing well enough.

    Chris Reid the Notts Captain and wicketkeeper would solve two problems in one go, worth a try...

    Predictably crap, cretinous, calamitous, capitulation from England.

    We really are crap and Cook is an awful, whimpish Captain.

    If you bring back Morgan you've got your new captain.
