peasy23 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Jinxed it with Cook out lbw the very next ball, chose not to review but it was missing leg stump with a bit to spare. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 England were 102-3 at lunch, not for the first time it's down to the middle order to build a competitive score. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Going to put this out there because god knows I need some distraction. Is Joe Root already England's most talented ever batsman? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmothecat Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Going to put this out there because god knows I need some distraction. Is Joe Root already England's most talented ever batsman? Definitely an argument for it. It's times like these I really appreciate TMS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Brilliant stuff from Root and Moeen after I had gone to bed by the sound of it, Root out for 124 and Moeen on 99 as England got to 311-4. As regards to Root, his average is well over 50 and rising but that doesn't tell the story of how many times he has had to come in with England in a poor position and he still manages to perform under pressure. An absolute class act. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saigon Raider Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Pretty much watched it all day today at work. Root was brilliant, nothing fancy but before you knew it he had 70 odd. Moeen though was superb, went after Ashwin after tea and barely played a false shot. Pitch is a lot easier than Bangladesh and I reckon England will be looking for 500 - commentators reckoned the pitch would be at its best until tea tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty much Joe root in a nutshell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saigon Raider Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 (edited) Stokes in absolutely brutal form here - India look completely broken. Saha has dropped two behind the stumps and the fielding has gone - Kohli going mental. 441-5, Stokes with 80 from just 128, Bairstow with 46 from 54. Already scored 130 runs in this session and still 15 minutes to go. Edited November 10, 2016 by Saigon Raider 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NathanQP Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 You would expect India to get into the 500s though, shaping up to be a great test 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 You would expect India to get into the 500s though, shaping up to be a great test Would you?
