Glad I only went for the first two days
It was the brittle middle order that has cost us. I thought our bowlers stuck to their task in conditions that favoured the batsmen. 300 was never going to be enough, particularly when you saw how well Stone and Wood batted.
I'm impressed with the Kiwi's strength in depth, considering how many players they've got missing. When we have the likes of Stokes and Buttler back, we're a match for anyone, but we clearly don't have adequate replacements.
