    Well, first test match of the summer begins today with Pakistan the visitors to Lords. 20/20 specialist/walking wicket Joss Buttler is drafted back into the side in place of flashy failure James Vince. The Rootmiester General moves up to 3 and 14 year old Dom Bess surprisingly given the chance as England's premier spin bowler. Still start as favourites against a rebuilding Pakistan side who struggled to put away the Irish.

    Top wicket taker - Anderson, Abbas
    Top run scorer - Stoneman, Sohail
    Series prediction - Eng 2 Pak 0

    First day of the first test match of the summer and already an England collapse. Some things never change.

    "Top run scorer - Stoneman"

    13 runs over 2 innings, looked like he wanted to be anywhere else but Lords and papped out the team in place of Jennings. Top tipping from yours truly.

    Awful test from England. These collapses, especially the top order ones, are becoming far too frequent. I don't know why Root's captaincy isn't coming under more scrutiny.

    One of England's problems is that they play so much one day cricket that their batsmen don't have the patience to bat properly in test matches. Hence all these collapses.

    Tufnell and Vaughan were saying summit similar on’t wireless the other night. If it’s affecting his batting which it looks like it is, then he must step down.

    As a top order they are shocking. Geoffrey used to say that your top 5 should be scoring centuries every five tests. The players just aren’t being coached to build innings any more. It’s pretty poor.

    A bit better today though. The visitors’ top order oot before the stovies are served, and lovely bowling by Woakes.

    Looks like we will have to wait until tomorrow for the England collapse.
