England's new era has lift-off after win over pitiful Pakistan

England are up and running in the post Bazball era!

Jake, Nick and Will reflect on their dominant win over Pakistan and ask how much we can truly take from beating such a poor level of opposition.

We questioned the lack of spinners in the team given how hot the summer had been, but England's four-man seam attack stole the show and could prove to be pivotal in the winter when England face a much trickier test away in South Africa.

Despite the win, Nick says it would have been made better if we'd seen an Englishman hit a century. He also said that opener Emilio Gay will be fighting for his place heading into the winter with scrutiny growing on Jamie Smith, too.

Away from the Test match, there's discussion on the decision not to award an Ashes Test to Headingley, something both Joe Root and Ben Stokes have criticised.
