Dickwella is a lively character.

Root is looking set for yet another classy 50 and out.

The first test didn’t happen then?

Haven't watched all of today's play, but what I have seen, the umpires have been spot-on.

 

[Nightmare Walking]

Great days cricket. Test match is set perfectly.

Anyone hear somebody in the stadium singing na na na city to hey Jude song!?

 

[Tim of the Oak]

A captain’s innings from Root. Able support from Bairstow.

It makes a big difference when the batters place the pressure back on the bowlers.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Joe Root is a better sweeper than Franco Baresi.

 

[waspish]

Love the run rate with Root Bairstow at the crease. Hopefully I wake up and Roots still in tomorrow morning.

Jimmy Anderson is a freak of nature. He's 38 and still at the top of his game. Can you imagine what his bowling figures would have been if the England coaches hadn't fucked around trying to change his bowling action early in his career? He'd probably be close to Warnes wicket tally.
