It went from bad to worse and from sad to sadder for Pakistan in the first Test against England and the abjectness of their surrender is cause for concern, writes @alanroderick.

✍️ As the saying doesn't quite go: strong Welsh Fire, strong England. That may or may not have been the murmuring on the concourses here at Headingley, writes @alanroderick 🔗 srkl.in/6006BCHx50

Abdullah Shafique notches fifty at Headingley. His run of Test scores currently reads 160*, 24* and 51* - in fact, he hasn't been dismissed in a Test since 2025 (Admittedly that's because he was out of the Pakistan side for almost a year, but still...) #EngvsPak

Like Andrew Flintoff in 2009, towards the end of his career, Ben Stokes was an imposing presence in the dressing room but perhaps not an empathetic one He was always the man to rely on in the biggest moments, but in the end, it finished in disillusionment @miller_cricket writes: srkl.in/6011B70xC1

After another crazy week for the England men's Test team, @alanroderick, @miller_cricket and @mroller98 attempt to make sense of it on the #SwitchHit podcast 🎧 cricinfo.com/story/switch-hi…

Switch Hit: Stokes. Flames. Out

Ben Stokes ended his England career in spectacular fashion at Trent Bridge. Alan Gardner, Andrew Miller and Matt Roller attempt to make sense of it all, as well as give some credit to New Zealand
