The former England captain was particularly critical of when Paine chose to bring the field up to try and prevent Ben Stokes from taking a single. After facing four balls to start his innings, No.11 Jack Leach didn’t face more than two balls in a row until the final over of the game as Stokes manipulated the strike to good effect, consistently able to take a single off the penultimate ball of the over.

“[Paine] went five balls with the field out virtually every time, banking on getting Jack Leach out with the last ball of the over, and it played right into [England’s hands]. Ben’s shot selection was exceptional here, but from this moment in, not just the skipper, the Aussies just lost the plot.”
