Former captain and Ashes hero Geoffrey Boycott has ruled out any possibility of England storming back in the series after their 251-run loss in the opening Test at Edgbaston last week. The second Test will be played at Lord's from Wednesday.

"It's absolutely impossible for them to come back in the series. This was the first game of the World Test Championship and they played some shocking cricket," said Boycott.
