• Curran helps England recover from 86 for six
The men untainted by the defeat at Trent Bridge kept England in the game at Southampton. Sam Curran irrepressibly led the way as if he did not understand the enormity of England’s plight or the confidence crisis afflicting the top order and finished with his highest Test score of 78. Meanwhile Moeen Ali’s contribution of 40, calm and considered compared with those above him, was also vital and evidence of the value of picking someone when in top form.
