Haha, Wood gets caught, Root declares but then they realise it was a no-ball. The players start to walk off then Root says, no, change my mind. Brilliant, never seen that.

[BLUEMATT23]

Why haven't they declared?

 

[TheRemainsOfTheDave]

WTF is Wood doing? 2x sixes in his whole test career before today and he's now got 4 more in one knock.

 

[MillionMilesAway]

Why haven't they declared?

500 is psychologically important, and Wood's now nearing fifty (possibly not when you posted!)

 

[dadnlad]

so nearly 500 on board we set field saving runs get on the attack

 

[wahablue]

For goodness sake Root be more aggressive in your field placements,you,ve 500 on the board.get people in the batsmen’s face

 

[wahablue]

50/0wkts and still a defensive field,make that 50/1but still too defensive

 

[aguerrrroooooooooooo]
