'It's fine to ban ruthless talk, but England should never be careless'

England 's second day of the third Test against New Zealand was by far their worst of the tour.

Second day saw them scuttled out for 143 , ending 340 runs behind and the chance of a clean sweep all but gone.

England captain Ben Stokes is disdainful about the idea of being "ruthless".

England 's ethos can be their biggest strength and their biggest weakness.

A relaxed environment can bring the best out of players, not sweating the small stuff can give the freedom to find peak performance.

England 's surrender of two World Cups in the past year-and-a-bit were rooted in a lack of attention to detail.

It's fine if England want to ban talk of being ruthless, but they should never be careless.
