What's Bairstow doing. Let Root get another ton, you plonker!
He's a part-timer for his 1st class side Wellington. Bowls a bit because he is captain. I feel sorry for him. Should never have been picked.Bracewell just looks like a really good part timer doesn't he. Gets it to turn and bounce a decent amount but also too much filth at times
Dropping Nicholls and picking another bowler is surely the move if he has to playHe's a part-timer for his 1st class side Wellington. Bowls a bit because he is captain. I feel sorry for him. Should never have been picked.

Yeah. I think he's got to leave right now.Drop Will Young.
The captaincy by both NZ captains in the series has been poor.Why has Mitchell hardly bowled in this series? We've had injured bowlers in the 1st 2 tests and went in a bowler short in this one, yet he's hardly bowled at all.
Helps if you bowl a spinner who struggles at 1st class level for some of it. Boult has been poor too100 run partnership off 13 overs!
I would like to think there is method in the madness and they won't just slog everything. Bairstow's hundred in the first innings was different to his two 4th innings thwackings, with a lot of steers to fine leg and third man. And even when he was hooking Henry for back to back sixes I don't think he'd be doing that if Henry wasn't serving it up there.Genuinely interested to see if England keep playing like this when confronted with a more muscular bowling attack next week.
Will Young is a very good middle order bat who is opening; Michael Bracewell is a standard 1st class middle order bat who is batting 8 and bowling part-time off spin. Previously Rachin Rachin was our no 7 - the best young opener in the country playing as a SLA allrounder.Drop Will Young.
Bairstow will put him into retirementEngland have never seen a bowler like Bumrah
Prettt sure it's Yasir Shah at Sydney in 2017, brought up his ton off 12.1 overs. The utter contempt with which he was treated that innings was absolutely astonishing.What's the fewest deliveries for a bowler to concede 100 runs?
Bracewell, 13 overs for 88
They saw him last year didn't they?England have never seen a bowler like Bumrah
