We may collapse occasionally but our middle order these days is great

Stokes comes in and just basically puts them on the back foot. playing proper shots mostly as well, not just slogging.

Root is alway excellent and Bairstow and Moeen good batsmen as well. Must be demoralising for the opposition at times.

Shaping up to be a very good test match this. Something happening in every over.
