England have veered from exhilarating to infuriating, often in the same session.

The value of England 's 2024 Test record may not be revealed for some time.

Of 24 players used, seven have been debutants.

England have lowered the age-profile of their team while keeping results stable.

Gus Atkinson , Brydon Carse , Jamie Smith and Jacob Bethell look to stay.

Will O'Rourke 's terrifying spell on the fourth day in Hamilton was best dealt with not by Joe Root or Harry Brook , the two best batters in the world, but 21-year-old Bethell .

Bethell has shown a calmness at first -drop Ollie Pope would love to have.

The series against India and Australia will shape the legacy of the Stokes-McCullum era.
