Root has not yet scored a boundary.

They're heading for a resolution tomorrow which is very unfair on my nights sleep

Jamie Smith > Adam Gilchrist?

Nah,first he need to surpass Pant.

 

[cnerd123]

So Jamie Smith's the real deal huh

 

[King Kane]

This Jamie Smith is pretty good, I haven't seen an English Smith this good since Robin Smith. or Johnny Marr.

 

[GIMH]

Ending today suddenly likely again.

 

[Howe_zat]

A real tension-evaporating innings.

 

[King Kane]

Dismissive from Smith.

 

[kevinw]

Smith has been such a good find that he's ended two international careers within a handful of tests.

Bairstow and Foakes?

 

[GIMH]

Well that’s disappointing but that innings from Smith really moved things along. Woakes will take us home with Root now

 

[King Kane]

Smith dismissed.

Bring back Buttler.

 

[kevinw]

Bairstow and Foakes?

I'd expect so. He combines the best of both though we've obviously not seen him keep in South Asia yet.

 

[Calm_profit]

Smith dismissed.

Bring back Buttler.

Lets also bring back Jason Roy.
