Have feeling Root is going to have a big part to play if Ali can't bowl

Ali will bowl, it may hurt but he will bowl

I can't remember test cricket ebbing and flowing this much, feels like every 30 minutes the ascendancy keeps changing.

It's still the best format of the game, in my opinion. I can see the appeal of the limited overs stuff; a lot of punters want a result in one day, with plenty of crash bang wallop. I can tolerate it (not that Hundred nonsense, mind!). But the five day game can't be beat as a true test of a team's tactical nous, especially the captain and his senior players. And the way it can ebb and flow. This has been a fantastic test, irrespective of how it ends up.

Love watching him bowl but seeing Anderson reverse sweep for four just makes so happy

This is a 50/50 game. Test cricket at its finest.

It got him 27 runs, well above his test batting average
