Second Day At Lords Not That Much Better Than The First.

England made a dramatic improvement on the second day of the Lords Test - they soared upwards from dire to markedly below average.
With the exception of Ben Stokes, the bowlers lacked penetration and the catching was poor. Pakistan have tackled the simple things well in this match and clearly have already done enough to be worthy of a win.
An eleven with only 45 caps across the entire team have out-played and out-thought England for SIX sessions.
On Day Two, the England bowlers pursued a better length but were still nowhere near as intelligent in their efforts as had been the visiting bowlers on Day One.
It really is little use for England when their best ever pair of strike bowlers waste the new ball in the first innings of every test - something which they have done on a regular basis now over a number of series against a variety of opposition!
If England continue in this fashion, already trailing by 166 on first innings, a humiliating innings defeat could even be on the cards.
Normally, I would be rooting for England to try hard to save the test but, in this match, I want to see Pakistan triumph to teach this bunch of muffins (yet another) lesson!
Why does this young Pakistani outfit seemingly want to win more than do their England counterparts?
