*Official* Second Test (Lord's, London) 28 June–2 July

I dont think they will Include Anderson for the next test. Maybe he will play another test at home in Manchester but his record isn't good there

he should not play another test, he is a legend but ultimately he is 40 and absolutely finished. Move on sadly.

The end of a great career happening before our eyes.Thank you Jimmy you have been wonderful but now is the time to go.England can not exist in world cricket much longer without some real pace.How can we bowl short pitched stuff when we only bowl 75 mph.Unfortunately as with spinners we don’t seem to produce pace and our only saviour was a West Indian.England bowl at least 3 wide balls per over when Australia bowl about one every3 overs.Forget Baz ball and start looking at our bowling which is now poor

He's bowled every single day of this test series because his batsman are bunch of gig chad morons.

He's 40 and Broad is 37 and yet they've barely been able to put their feet up. Throw in Robinson who resembled a fridge rather than an elite sportsman not that long ago.

The thought processing from this setup is just baffling. Jeetan Patel came out with an absolutely delusional interview earlier today.

I think at this point it's clear that they're just being told to say **** like that to try and keep the media off their backs, in the same way a football manager might spend the whole post-match interview moaning about refs instead of criticising how his team played, but saving that for the internal discussions in the dressing rooms instead. They must surely know how silly it sounds otherwise.

This is all a bit dull. Englands tactics are clearly to slow the run rate

No slips and a field spread far

similar to how Australia spread the field but the numbnuts in the England team didn’t just let that fly by

Going to be a long day if this is how it’s to be played
