So so good in Asia. If he were a subcontinental batsman he’d be averaging Smith levels.

Enormous alpha move from Root, getting cramp from whacking Ashwin into the stands and getting Virat Kohli to stretch him out.

Well that's a shame but tremendous effort to bat through the day.

Done his job I reckon. Shame it’s still a new ball period, but no shame in getting out to that after 99.5% of a day.

Fantastic first day for England, unbelievable from Joe Root. England need to get to 450 from here.

Getting up for the second session to find us 357-3 is about as good an experience as waking up at 6:40 is ever going to be. 500+ incoming.

Lovely stuff to wake up to. Lovely lovely stuff.
Why would I be seething though?

Okay now I'm seething.

How about after that drop?
(You hate Rohit Sharma right? Or am I misremembering?)

I think you might be? I know that Srihari absolutely raged when they fielded him in the Test team time and time again. I just don't think he should be opening overseas because he's not that good in Test cricket! (Apart from at home - can't argue with those numbers.)
Anyway, 555 is definitely better than what England sides of the past would have racked up! Watch it be a draw now.
