Well done
( KW would have done it if he’d played as many tests, grumble grumble…..)
Worth pointing out that years ago Martin Crowe predicated KW, Root, Smith and Kohli would be the premier batsmen of their generation. How right he was !! Sad he hasn’t seen his prediction come to fruition, that’s some eerie foresight!

Astonishing season for Joe Root and worthy of all the plaudits coming his way.
Been watching him bat all morning and he's really struggling with exhaustion out there, but has still managed to get 150 off 230 balls.
Pitch is clearly a doddle, but not all pitches he's played on this year have been as easy. A true legend of the game.
England have clearly shown us in this match how not to be intimidated when batting second after conceding 500+.

This pitch is an absolute road. 431 current partnership. England on an astonishing 680-3!

Root finally out for 260 odd ... Smith, new batsman whacks second ball for 4.
Don't really know wha you do now ... 150 ahead ...140 overs left in the test. I guess try bat for another 30-40 overs and take another 200 runs (900!) and then spend an hour seeing if you can do anything?

Declaration on 823.

Cricket can be a brutal individual game. Ollie Pope opening with 0 (2) in that total of 823/7d.

Yeah not much of a captains knock was it ?
Something need to be done.
Batting in the subcontinent is an absolute joke and you’re always going to get huge scores from both sides.
Unless you’re New Zealand.
