ROOOOOOT !! Outstanding. Jonny next.

Sod it - I'm going to make a prediction:

Root won't get stranded in the 90s this time.

There, I've said it now.

Nostradamus

need johny to go into T20 mode to make my 12pm prediction

 

[T4tomo]

We would struggle to chase 200 against the India attack let alone 350+

we have a fragile top 3 and Stokes is intent on self destruction every innings

I humbly eat these words. To be fair one short Bumrah spell aside, the india bowling hasnt not been anything like first innings, and rather than go complete madness the batting, the two Yorks boys are playing just good positive proper cricket shots. Outstanding.

 

[Grant Fondo]

India look broken here, no ideas against genius batting. .... 36 to win

Is Bairstow now worried?
"69th over: England 325-3 (Root 113, Bairstow 92) Target 378 Root motoring while Bairstow has become stranded."

Bairstow is trying not to get his century! Taking himself off strike for a single on 98!

[Grant Fondo]
