James Vince's 84 in the first innings stood out because of the time he had to play his shots. The entire innings proved why the ECB rate Vince so highly. To unleash his full potential, the coaching team should encourage Vince to go all out and not worry about his position in the team.

Many people compare Vince's technique to that of Michael Vaughan, who thrived under the leadership of Duncan Fletcher. I believe that Trevor Bayliss should develop the same trust with Vince and unleash him on the unsuspecting Aussies.
