Rob Key and Joe Root were both in sombre mood on August 25 as England trained without the dropped Brydon Carse.

The bowler was involved in an incident in the early hours of Sunday at a Derby nightclub and has subsequently been omitted from the squad for the second Test against Pakistan starting at Lord's on Thursday.

It is the latest in a series of drinking issues surrounding this team, with Harry Brook and Ben Duckett among those hitting the headlines for the wrong reasons.

Ben Stokes has since retired from international cricket, while Brendon McCullum was fired as Test coach leaving Marcus Trescothick in charge on an interim basis until Stephen Fleming relocates from New Zealand to take up the position.
