I set my alarm for 5. Not having Sky it’s great to watch it live.
A real pity we couldn’t have got to lunch wicketless. It was good to see a pair of openers dig in and see off the new ball. An encouraging start that could have been better, or worse.
Phew on the run out, I thought he was in but nervy times. Settle down lads.
I’m off to shower now and get back for 6.40.

I always worry about Root. Imo he struggles until he gets to 30odd then he gets in his zone.

Root will now take Root and get a century

He's class. Seems to have rediscovered his knack of turning the 30-40s into a big score.

A good day. Burns and Sibley saw off the new ball well. Burns was out playing a stupid shot but Sibley did really well today.
A real pity we lost the late wicket but we go again fresh tomorrow.

Call me cynical but I have a feeling the bidding for the test was based purely on the opposition.

I woke at 3 and was awake till almost 4, I fell asleep waking again just gone 5. D’oh!!
It’s looking like a very good toss to have won. It’s a fascinating game as so many are. If we’re going to get the 600 - 700 runs that Rooooooooot says he wants we’ll need another’s one or two to get 70 -80.
Assuming we’re still batting late in the day, I think we’d usually be looking to declare this evening, but I think we’ll be happy to bat into tomorrow and see if the pitch deterioration will help us later in the game.

There's no way Joe will risk losing the 1st test, reckon we'll keep
going till at least 700 if possible.

What a way to bring up his double century, with a huge 6.
