Valuable runs from Ollie Robinson here, these one really hurt when you are in the field

How low is this ball keeping on a day one pitch by the way?

Excellent from Robinson and Root that. They don’t have to do anything spectacular in this test just parity will do and the pitch will do it for them

300 and root still there, I'll take that having woke up at 115-5
To be 5 down at lunch but get to the end of the day 7 down, is a very good effort
Opportunity to get another 50 tomorrow morning if they bat well

You been watching Tim? What are they saying about the pitch on comms?
Just radio today, planning to watch a good bit tomorrow morning
Sounds like it was very difficult to bat against the newer ball with the uneven bounce
I'm surprised they didn't take the new ball as soon as it was available.
350 first innings score on a pitch like this will be hard to beat. Think England have picked the right bowling attack here as well.
Know someone who might have played in that game.
Brilliant performance by Root especially after all flak he has has this week. One of the modern greats.
They were getting a decent bit of turn and the ball was reversing to be fair
Would hope to realistically try and target 350 but try and keep them out in the field till at least lunch....
Put them into bat tired....
No way this goes 5 days with that pitch
They were getting turn but I thought in the main Root and Robinson looked in control.
Realistically it would be great if we don't crumble in the first few overs and get bowled out and only add 20 runs. 350+, stay in the middle for a few hours and that will be a solid foundation

One of the all time greats for me
Yep. He's an absolute joy to watch.
His record will speak for itself when he retires. He'll be top England run scorer, century maker at least.
