VETERAN LEADERSHIP: After a 1-0 series defeat to Sri Lanka in June and two underwhelming performances against India, England coach Peter Moores is also under scrutiny, just four months after taking the job for the second time. At Lord's, he said the form of his veteran players was a major concern. In addition to the struggles of Prior and Cook, Ian Bell only managed 42 runs overall against India and bowlers James Anderson and Stuart Broad couldn't stop India from batting through day one at Lord's.
"They will be desperate to make a big contribution going forward," Moores said. "The senior players have got to look at their own games and decide how they can come back and play to the level needed to be in a successful England team."
