Root at 3 would let us find players lower down the order which in theory should be easier but if he wants to bat 4 he should bat 4.

Gabriel bowling uncalled no balls until he takes a wicket, so we've effectively got a free hit almost every delivery he bowls.

Stokes playing so well here. Probably cursed him
He was the most economical bowler as well. I didn't really expect to see that, but it is what the scorecard says.

I really hope you've cursed him. He needs to get out now, to make this test just a bit more interesting.

Could Stokes be any more important to England?

Everyone goes on about Root and Cook, but Stokes is vital.

Looking at the track it isn't doing as much now as earlier in the game. Could be they aren't bowling as well now but it puts any target into question. Can't see us declaring without the game being totally safe now.

Having a breakthrough year with the bat in all formats, as weird as that sounds. Has found the consistency we need in a top 6 bat.
