Butler gets a quick 50 here puts us in a good position

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

No way we even think of declaring today. Still need around 150 more at least.

Whether we get them is another matter.

This is only a day 2/3 pitch. We’re scoring freely on it.

 

[waspish]

Need these two to build a good partnership. If either of them get out early on in the evening session, the other batsman will run out of partners pretty quickly.

If we can get a lead of at least 250 then we've got a puncher's chance.

Yeah if these two go early be lucky to get 180

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

We’ll need one of Broad’s golden spells to win this now.

Buttler shoulders his arms to a straight one... Root is legitimately the only batsman we have.

Nice one Joe, top class knock

 

[Ric]

That’s an incredible knock from Root.

 

[Gabriel]

Ironic that Root’s captaincy is under scrutiny when he’s one of the very few whose place is currently guaranteed.

 

[waspish]

That’s one the best 100 I’ve watched Root get need a few more though get a big one

Shocking leave. Especially for a man of his experience. 168 ahead now, not enough as it stands. Can the last 4 wickets tag on another 75 runs?
