To be fair to England, they aren’t spoilt for choice with batting options, and Hameed at least looks like he has a better technique to survive than Burns. Even though another duck is the result…
Interesting logic for a guy who scored two very quick ducks in a row.

Burns has the sort of technique (mainly backlift) that, if you saw a kid in an opposition team bat like that, you’d just tell your kids to bowl at middle stump and soon he’ll miss a straight one…

…..but he did occupy the crease and get some runs. Hameed looked like a tail ender from ball one with his concrete feet.
Pretty silly argument in one sense, whoever is there is basically cannon fodder.

Bloody Hell Cummins is one decent bowler.
Looks a bit nice and friendly though. That should be a work on going forward.
If he was a Kiwi you guys would talk cricket in winter.
I know, he’d be the bowling version of KW. he’s a lovely bloke too.
