The second test fizzled out, England actually played some good cricket and had the best of the game but ultimately the pitch won and the game was drawn, leaving New Zealand series winners at 1-0. I seem to say this a lot but the quirky series selections havn't brought us any closer to identifying our best team. A tough series in South Africa starts before you know it.
We know half the squad that toured New Zealand will already have tickets booked. Of those that aren't so certain Zac Crawley will probably be retained, Joe Denly has once again done just enough to keep his place and Ollie Pope has been knocking at the door for a while now. I hope Jack Leach keeps his place, surely they won't pick Mo over him? It looks like Bairstow is back, already. Curran and Woakes both done reasonably well but I can't see there being room for both... As for Mahmood and Parkinson, well thanks for carrying the drinks.
