Finn should have been in the squad from the first test. He's a proper enforcer bowler, one that causes the batsmen to go back in the crease and roughs them up properly. He has the ability to shake the batsmen up, moreso than Anderson and Broad. That's his role, and by doing it he forces errors. Just like that one from a usually very solid Steve Smith.

A great start, especially after losing the toss as I suspected England may have wanted to bat first.

Spoke to soon !!!
Ffs Lyth is done. He gets out too cheaply and always in the same way. It's like he doesn't have the patience to start the innings out and deal with the new ball. I don't understand, when he plays for Yorkshire he does well but this series, he's been far too impatient and that's costing the team dearly.
