Vaughan ’ s BBC colleague , Jonathan Agnew , thinks England will rue Tuesday ’ s showing . ‘ England will look back on today as a missed opportunity in terms of batting , ’ he said . ‘ They still have the advantage , they ’ ve kept chipping away with wickets and they ’ ve kept things very tight , but they could have done with that Blackwood wicket . ’
