This is going to be a 1 innings shootout.Hopefully we can get parity with these 2.Then Curran and Robinson can play a few shots lead of 50 could be crucial.

Its amazing how much an opener getting a score changes the scorecard and takes pressure off everyone else.

I'd like to see them stick with this batting lineup for the rest of the summer. Hameed was incredibly nervous on his comeback but I think he's got runs in him if they give him a few matches to show it.

Yeah think they’ll stick with it now for the rest of the series Hameed will get rest of the series to see if he is good enough for the ashes!

Root though what a fantastic player Bairstow looking good but played a poor shot..

Hell of a knock this from Root.

Think Butler needs to drop down batting line up

Root still going on 150 now if he can get to 200 we should have around 40/50 lead

As sure as night follows day... the collapse.

Wonderful how cricket can swing so quickly. Still in the balance.
