Actions have consequences. Sometimes. Despite a heavy 4-1 defeat in the Ashes, England head coach Brendon McCullum and director of cricket Rob Key look set to be given the chance to stay on and turn things around.

Of the four marquee five-match series they have competed in against India and Australia, they have won none of them.
