There were two moments during day one of the second Ashes Test that left two of England's greatest cricketers infuriated with the BazBall approach.
England won the toss and elected to bowl on a green Lord’s pitch but the Australians ended the day at 5/339 and way ahead in the match thanks to Steve Smith , Travis Head and David Warner .
The England side's demeanor has infuriated former players Michael Vaughan and Kevin Pietersen on day one at Lord's.

The other moment which concerned Vaughan was when the players were captured chatting and laughing while waiting to go back on.
