Lucky there,what the hell are they doing risking a run out with only a couple of balls before lunch.

I think that shows that Root has to push up to number three when we have no natural alternative. Lawrence has batted there 6 times in his first class career and scored 44 runs......

A shame to let India back into it after a decent start. It was a completely idiotic shot from Burns with Lunch in sight, very poor game awareness.
My biggest concern coming into the series was that not enough of our batsmen go on to make big scores after getting in. In India youβve got to make it count once youβre set, especially in the first innings.
It looks a road so we need 450-500 ideally.

Stokes and Pope will be massively undercooked so the Sibley/Root partnership is key. Sibley will happily bat all day and hopefully Root has got his 10 minutes of madness out of the way and can get back to his imperious best.......

But I back him to get a big score this game.......

Stating the obvious but brainless from Burns after such a great start!
Amazing how one stupid shot can change a game.
Lack of experience.

Huge partnership now, Sibley has looked pretty solid again, good to see heβs learning on the job.

Cook on his summary on the tele and Norcross on TMS regarding his scoring rate earlier in the innings. It's just lazy.

Think they just say stuff like heβs a very leg side player, heβs got a strange technique you wouldnβt teach kids, he didnβt come through the Lions set up. That sort of thing. Heβs got a great mentality and runs are starting to flow, itβs great to see.

Well played Dom, terrific knock ππ» Heβs come back really well after struggling so much against spin - not just in Sri Lanka but also before when he looked like he had no idea what to do. Great to see.

Great application from these two.
Root now has Stewart in his sights and will soon be England's 3rd highest scoring Test Batsman of all time behind Cook and Gooch
Could he reach Cook's total? He's just over 4000 behind right now.

Shame for Sibley, top class knock though. Think he just ran out of energy to be honest......
