Can you explain when the 'bit of sensible batting' started for you. I'm assuming it's the bit that won the game for England ie The Brook, Woakes, Wood partnerships which was the very epitome of Bazball. Before they got together England were going at around 4.75 and over. 'Sensible bit' all but 6 an over.

From someone who played many year at the dizzy heights of The Cuckmere Valley League usually as a No6 bat and first change bowler.

Actually I don't think anyone of us of any idea what it is like at this level. I watched but didn't see the side on camera angle of a Cummins (I think) delivery in the nets on Sky. When I say I didn't see it I literally did not see the ball go past.
