Have no faith in most of this side so all I really wanted from the series was a hundred for Root. Sod the rest of them. Well batted lad. Hopefully shut a few Aussies up but I doubt it!
keep taking the runs I say, we'd only get 3 or 4 overs now....let's try take it into tomorrow
Could have been a lot worse but well done Root and Archer.
looking at that scorecard....it's a good job Hazelwood and Cummings aren't fit isn't it! After starc their bowlers are dog tod
The way some of the news channels were going on yesterday you would have thought we had won the Ashes, the world Cup, the formula 1 and everything else in between.
In the context of things is it really such a big deal to score 100?

It is if like Mcilroy in the golf it looked like it was never going to happen . For Root it just cemented his absolute quality , shame the rest of the England team don’t seem to chase it , they think 75 is ok then do something daft .
Really frustrating to see the way the Aussies have faced up to Archer, he's head an shoulders above the rest of our bowlers and they've played him so patiently, left a lot and waited...meanwhile at the other end they've gone at the les dangerous players to keep the scoreboard ticking, the absolute template to how we should have been playing Starc in these first 2 tests but we keep gifting him wickets chasing balls that could be comfortably left. 1-0 down and I'd say slightly behind in this game too and it's only going to get harder when Cummins and Hazlewood come back into their team
On the verge of an embarrassing bowling performance here, I cannot believe that they've got heads together and decided that under fkn lights the best bet is to just bang it in short, Carse with some increasingly humiliating figures here
