'BAZBALL' took a back seat but England still regained their grip on the second Test.

Yes, it was all change at Trent Bridge in more ways than one as the hosts so dominant at Lord's needed to reset.
After a first-day onslaught appeared to have put them in the driving seat, the tourists' defiant response meant they had to do it all again.
England had to withstand a shift in the weather conditions and a controversial switching of the ball to push themselves within sight of a total that may yet see them over the line after they conceded a 41-run firstinnings deficit.
They were by no means defensive but gone was the carefree abandon with which they started the game.
