i would trade crawley and duckett for one shop soiled 29 year old alastair cook in a second, but being 90/1 after 13 overs is kind of fun and its happening a lot lately

If that LBW review against Pope had been against an Indian batsman I dread to think what the reaction would have been... Hit miles above the knee role quite far down the pitch and yet, somehow, just enough of it is crashing in to the top of leg stump to overturn the decision.

Ashwin withdraw mid tast for a family medical emergency. Obviously wish his family the best but does thus mean India down to 10 men? Not even a sub fielder?

Root’s bazball dismissal - embarrassing

It is possible to score at pace without garbage like that. He was angry and rightly so. He shouldn’t be that stupid.

Root’s head hasn’t been in the game for 18 months. He’s not prepared to graft any more

Yeah he needs to ditch the reverse sweeps and just play orthodox, he will be back making a ton of runs

Let everyone else do the bazballing

One positive about Bazball is rarely playing into a 5th day thus getting in more rounds of golf.

ENG 4/28 (11.1) chasing 557

Their last 12 wkts have gone for 123 runs.

Not sure what’s up with their run rate. I thought they liked to score quickly.

6/50. Foakes and the tail left.

Root this series: 107 overs bowled, 77 runs scored.

Anderson and Bairstow should miss the 4th Test.

uneven bounce is doing for crawley at the moment. has played and missed 17 times off his 15 balls

duckett looks a little more comfortable

zak has deduced to forget about playing proper cricket and is just swinging as hard as possible. good plan

4,4,4,6 to end the over

Well well well

Root 103* (219)
Foakes 47 (126)

Disappointing that these two have strayed from the Bazball edict. England could have made 160 and been dismissed before drinks in the middle session, admittedly with a run rate they could all be proud of.

Instead, England are going to score 300+ but in 90+ overs. They might not even declare before stumps. Oh the horror.

Selfish batting by Root. How are they going to make their tee time at lunch on day 4 if he insists on batting properly ?

Bazball isn't about swinging the bat indiscriminately - they've stated clearly it's about letting batters choose how aggressive to be and encouraging them to play their natural game, with no repercussions for them if they get out cheaply.
