Although Bairstow's inconsistent across all forms in my eyes, I appreciate he has a habit of saving his better batting performances for when they're more needed.

Very handy lead of 143 with 5 wickets left anything over 220 and you would think this test is done

Excellent stand between these two now. 141 off 204 balls.

Done & dusted now this.

Yep 172 lead will root declare tonight with the rain incoming next 2 days?

He should do, but probably won't. If it was me I'd be telling these two to get their hundreds, then get whacking before the new ball. Declare at 6.30 giving about 45mins at them tonight.

Well done, Woakes.

Yeah agree that’s what I’d do but being 1 up Root might be more cautious

Why are we still batting here? Surely we must declare soon.

I’d we would declared this morning Anderson would already has a couple of wickets it’s swinging and moving all over the place! Just declared.

Stupid to come off for the light last night.
