If Root fails we need to bowl the opposistiom out cheaply.At least the middle order partly fired.
80 odd lead is very handy lets hope we can nip a couple out tonight.

Woakes showing what we’ve missed, proper handy cricketer

Handy lead. If we can somehow prise a couple out this evening, it'll have been a good day for England.

Rory Burns is a fucking useless slip catcher.

The English middle order is so frustrating. We have some real talent in there but too often they have moments of absolute insanity and lose their wicket. Bairstow out in the 30s...standard. He is a better player than that I'm sure of it, but he just doesn't show it at test level. He clearly struggles to maintain the concentration/mentality. It's the same for Moeen. Such a classy player to watch and repeatedly throws his wicket away.

We need a lead of 100 at least to win this test batting 4th in my opinion. Woakes is handy with the bat, not got the best record with it at the Oval mind. Could do with him and Pope sticking a 50 partnership together to get us up to 100. This session is probably the game. To bowl first on this and get them for 190 we should have been looking at a lead of at least 150.

Bairstow is not a test match batsmen too many Lbws and bowled.How long before Root goes to one slip and spreads the field?

He aint all that with a bat in his hand.
