I don't like it either

I expect the reasoning will be that it's another day the bowlers don't have to work (saving themselves for the important matches later in the summer) and the batsman will have had time in the middle.

I don't know if I even agree with what I've posted, just trying to fathom out a reason for it what England are doing
