Nice of you to drop in with some positivity.

It's being so cheerful that keeps him going

I am cheerful :-) just wanted to highlight some very bad techniques.
Other than that the Contributions from Root and Bairstow are just brilliant.

25 ball changes to get through first.

What a player

 

[domalino]

Root has now scored 12 test centuries since Kohli got one and he leads the "big 4" (Root 28, Smith 27, Kohli 27, Williamson 24)

Root has now scored 12 test centuries since Kohli got one.

He’s probably played 25 more tests in that time too though…

EH?

EH?

Mystery spin isn‘t easy, you know.

15 more, but Kohli going 19 tests without a century is still mad.

Nearly 5 an over and to think years ago domestic teams were scoring 250 in 50 over games thinking they had enough.

You know what; they could actually do this!

It's crazy. I remember a time when 3 rpo was considered a respectable run rate. England are playing 5 day tests in 50 over mode under the Kiwi pair nowadays. It's terrific to watch.

And his conversion rate is relatively poor in comparison to the others.

 

[waspish]

These two are that good they Making it look so so easy

What's this partnership's scoring rate? They came together at 109, so that may have been around over 20-25, at a guess? They've scored over 220 in around 35 overs. That's around 6 rpo, if my dodgy maths is okay. Ludicrous stuff in a test match.

Partnership: 237 runs, 48.2 ov (RR: 4.9)

I recommend the ESPN cricinfo live page if you want more stats and info than the bbc one.
