Heh, England be like "we'll get a collapse in there somehow!"

 

[TT Boy]

Could have they gone for the review?

 

[Prince EWS]

To make England feel worse, that sub fielder is a wicket keeper.

Is Broad back at 11? I would take Wood over Leach with the bat.

Wood and Broad are both much better bats than Leach, but I suppose he might face more balls on average and as such be a better partner for a bloke on 200+

 

[Pothas]

Yeah I still find it a bit weird given the summer Broad had with the bat.

Last time Root crossed 100 he made a 200 too.

When he goes big, he goes really big.

 

[Pothas]

Unacceptable snub of Broad's batting.

 

[cnerd123]

lefty killer Dilruwan does it again

Last time Root crossed 100 he made a 200 too.

When he goes big, he goes really big.

Against 6 different test playing nations Root has scored 180+ plus against them.

 

[91Jmay]

Root going to be stranded here

 

[Darwin Award]

I don't see Root doing a Smith here and crazily running himself out on the last wicket here.

He's getting that red think me thinks.

 

[91Jmay]

Sri Lanka got absolutely done by it hitting on the full there, it didn’t project any spin which it would have

 

[cnerd123]

lmao Broad was plumb there

Has batted like a bonafide number 11 so far

 

[91Jmay]

That’s a horrific decision, was spinning past another set

That's the law, tbf.

 

[91Jmay]

That's the law, tbf.

Yeah for sure, it wasn't wrong decision just feels unfair but nothing really can be done about it.

Root giving up his red inker. Ffs think of the average

 

[honestbharani]

Dilruwan hacking his way to a 4-fer... lol

Curious what the lowest completed innings score has been with a double hundred in it. Can't be too many lower than 421, having one batsman scoring more than half the runs is unusual in itself and typically I associate it with much lower scores than 400+
