'Inept' and 'brainless' bouncer barrage leaves England on the back foot

England began day two of the Oval Test hoping to polish off the New Zealand innings pronto. The fact the words "inept", "scruffy", "poor", "brainless" and "rudderless" were used by Sky Sports' Michael Atherton during the morning session and at lunch tell you that did not happen.

The Kiwis were able to loot 100 runs in 19.2 overs, moving from their overnight 291-7 to 391 all out, amid England's wayward bowling, bizarre tactics and sloppy fielding.
