Really fell apart since lunch yesterday- abject after Root and Brook

Credit to Pak. for taking the series seriously and adjusting to their strengths, and going for Eng weaknesses - different to other hosts admittedly but very effective. Not sure if such vast pitch variation is acceptable at elite stages in sport, though it's used in other field sports to some degree.

'New look' white-ball team has a bit of an old-look with the first outing at the Sir Viv Stad...absoloute pasting.
They get another chance there tomorrow before a final match in sunny Barbados...( organisers do like deciders so Eng. will probably somehow scrape the 2nd.. )
