Bowling hasn't been good enough this series full stop. Indian seamers apply pressure - we take an early wicket then immediately feed them 4 or 5 boundaries to ease the pressure.

It was a hoik across a straight ball - then last 4 wickets are down for 11 runs. Poor shot selection when you're the last recognised batsman.

Some of it's so stupid. Making Sundar look world class. This just a repeat of the last two Pakistan Tests (same top 7 batting order) - poor shot selections on testing pitches. Stokes batting like its an ODI rather as a captain & last recognised batsman - nurse the tail. If it does get close (not...

That's probably why "weight specialists" prescribe rather than GPs.

Anyone care to guess what a decent target is on this wicket - assuming England's bowlers can find some sort of discipline

You can get anti-smoking medication on the NHS so treaments to go alongside weight-loss should be covered to a point. That point being it can't be a lifelong substitute for unhealthy diets and lack of exercise.

Genuinely think there's a discussion to be had about parental responsibility and child obesity.

They heavily tax alcohol and tobacco often using the reason it pays for the extra health treatment users tend to require. No-one is politically brave enough to go after unhealthy foods which already cost the health system & the economy more than alcohol & tobacco combined.

But the "rider" with these jabs is that you do have to exercise and eat properly. Jabs can't cure stupid.

My eldest lived there for 4 years. Cost of living is high - they used to drive into Sweden for shopping. But when she was there you had to pay for the first 200 euros (approx) per year for GPs,healthcare etc then after that it was free. That included mental health as well (she's a psychologist)

They have nearly twice as many doctors per 1000 people than UK so that's probably the biggest factor.

He needs to be playing more cricket. He's played only played 14 county championship games -thats less than the number of test matches he's played. He's basically learning on the job - which is a terrible indictment of what domestic cricket is producing in terms of spin bowling.

Doesn't seem right he can come out and bat at 5 after just 30 odd overs having been off the field for about 80 overs of the England innings. Protecting against injury isn't the same as being injured.

That's probably a word that's out of date these days

Let's be honest a run-out was probably the only way they were going to take a wicket

Can add in living longer past the retirement (often alone), smaller families (or even no kids), insufficient spaces in social care housing (exacerbated by dominance of private sector) just another few.

ALso the GP "triage" system is tending to send people straight to hospital before they even see a GP.

Loneliness is a growing social problem. Problem is there are so many varied causes.

Again some really ordinary pace bowling in the first hour.

Hasn't Epstein's lawyer repeatedly said there was a list and he'd seen it?
