All going wrong, should have had a few quid on the 150

I'd honestly rather be stuck in a lift with a drunken Chris Pincher than KP. Shut up man.

Bairstow dropped on 42 by Pant down leg. Difficult chance.

What happened to this man? He's become very strange over the years

Very very strange man.

Massively inflated self opinion as well.

Well, Baz Ball is officially ace as far as I am concerned. Sure, we will lose hideously sometimes, but banishing draws from test cricket is a noble cause.

Massively inflated self opinion as

Was just about to post that.

 

[Tony Towner]

This innings so far has been perfectly balanced aggressive and circumspect at the right times. Only the run out you can criticise, Root's call and Lees is ball watching, but no need after a couple of wickets in quick succession.

 

[sycophantia]

Interesting approach in this innings by England, positive play by the openers without too many dramas, then the madness around tea time, sensible start by Root and Bairstow before they started accelerating. Not the Baz ball we've seen so far but smart, aggressive batting, great to watch.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

It’s five an over! And that’s with putting the brakes on a bit.

 

[Dinowolf]

Another great day of Test cricket, let's hope that continues tomorrow.
