Admittedly, the pitch was tricky in the last innings but with the start that they were given from yesterday - England should not have allowed wickets to slip so regularly through their fingers.
South Africa did everything right - we did not.
Bairstow's batting technique has disappeared; Root did the hard work and then failed; a string of other batsmen capitulated.
All in all, the bulk of the blame should be heaped onto the shoulders of the man who threw away England's advantage by not batting after winning the toss.
Three more tests to go, 0 - 1.
So much is wrong - and badly so!
