England have been backed to fight fire with fire against South Africa's express pace attack this week and fully commit to their aggressive style.
Having come unstuck in bowler friendly conditions on day one and against Anrich Nortje’s extreme pace on day three, the England batters hardly threw a punch in anger at Lord’s. And head coach Brendon McCullum has reflected that his players were not aggressive as they could have been or were during the earlier part of the summer.
McCullum said: "I guess one of the messages we will be talking about is did we go hard enough with our approach? Could we maybe go a little harder and try to turn some pressure back on the opposition?"
