Pitch looks fine 50 short of a par score for me

Root needs to get a move on here, he'll get precious little support from the tail.

Once we lose Robinson he will go for it

Joe doesn’t need to embrace Bazball, just needs to play his normal game and play the conditions and circumstances…..

Well done Joe Root. Very sensible play, and all the better for it

Hartley and Robinson have both scored more than Pope Stokes and Duckett. Valuable runs. Hartley put on 20 with Root and Robinson 38, so far

Bang on. Valuable runs in the context of the game. And decent support from a couple of lads who shouldn't know which end of the bat to hold. Pity some of the top order didn't do the same.

Robinson has done particularly well. Taken 2/3 of the strike in the partnership with JR.

Bazball should be for the openers and Bairstow. Root and Stokes invariably do better when they play more carefully. 184 for 2 since the last recognised batsman other than Root got out

1 day of play 300+ is decent in India pitch though looks fine to bat on! What score will worry India I reckon 350
