Haven't seen a better English bat myself. Has no weaknesses atm and is immense under pressure. Not just at soaking up pressure but actively reversing it as well.

Yeah, that's the similar one. Different approach of course, but suddenly became world class after years of averaging mid 30s.

Yeah Gooch pre-1989 beats Bairstow pre-2022 but the similarities are there, particularly if Jonny kicks on from here.
Siraj is solid enough on helpful pitches, but I never really understood the hype about him beyond that. He mostly just bowls straight at 135 kph.

Whatever happens tomorrow, this match is another clear marker of the quick improvements we’ve made. A year ago not only would we have not got a sniff at a chase like this, but I also don’t think we’d have fought back to keep the target below 400 like we did.
Everyone knows there are holes in this side and things we need to do better but it’s really pleasing to watch and every ball I don’t see at the minute gives me FOMO whereas last year every ball I watched made me cry unless Root was batting

I don't think I've ever seen a batter who "before you know it he's 30 not out without you realising" more applies to
so serene and risk free in the way he's operating right now

What a wonderful day. We are shaking up a brittle India side and will finish the job tomorrow

Bazball continues to shine, amazing what instilling a bit of self belief and confidence into a group of lads can do and it's another amazing effort even if we fall short tomorrow.

I've gotta say, England is turning the most boring format of the game into something we actually need to watch. This is actually exciting. Thanks Brendon!

Chases are not what they used to be anymore.

Yeah. The bowlers will get blamed if India don’t rescue it tomorrow and probably rightly so but the batsmen had the opportunity to basically remove England win from the equation and failed.
