[Walken]

Perfect start, if these two can get us level that leaves Brook, Stokes and Smith to really go for it with the potential of Dawson, Woekes and Carse who could add on another 100 between them

 

[ToffeeTim]

Great session from these two. Chance of a big lead now

 

[ToffeeTim]

Brook not giving himself a chance with some of these shots when he's just come in. Can't afford to throw away this advantage

 

[f.t.r.s]

Brook really needs to learn to concentrate, such a talented player letting himself down with some poor decision making

…Gloucester 218-7, a lead of 42.

See Hartley has got mine wickets in the match. I wonder when the last time a Lancashire player got a century and the wickets.

Saw this yesterday.

Well played Joe Root, what a professional!

 

[ToffeeTim]

Root on a different level. What a player

Gloucestershire 252-8, lead by 76.

 

[Rita_Poon]

ton up Root. Nicely done.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Root above Ponting now in the all time test runs list

 

[Obes]

Only Sachin Tendulkar has scored more test runs than Joe Root.

What a player.

 

[Walken]

Joe Root, the best we have ever seen in an England shirt and for my money now the best of the 'big four' of his generation

 

[Walken]

We are seeing a huge gulf in leadership between the two sides
