    Stupid having it in the same text as the women’s game as it’s bloody impossible to find anything. Still raining in Leeds!

    He's done really well but a waste of effort when Boult is bowling like he is at the other end. Great bowler too, just shows what pressure can do eh?

    Poor Roots not going to get his hundred here is he? Do you think he'll be a bit disgruntled or just happy to win the game?

    He won’t be bothered. He’s all about the team. Although he might have just told Bairstow “can I get some of these runs please?”

    As Punch once said "That's the way to do it"
    Well done England.

    3 very good wins there i reckon, different looking 'england' altogether...chance to win then go for it rather than play steady and see where we end up.

    Love the new positive style of play of this England side.

    Exciting times ahead I feel. Root looks like he’s had a new lease of life.

    Superb. Not many would’ve predicted 3-0 at the start of the series…

    I think he will. As McCullum said in his interview with Sky - "I'll talk to him now as I would if he scores 3 centuries on the trot"

    I don’t think he’s a bad player. He’s short of form and confidence. The run out of Lees was shocking yesterday. He starts running, says nothing and stands and looks at Lees who is about 3 yards away. If he’d kept going he’d likely have made it. Much more likely than Lees having to turn to get back.

    He has quality. Just maybe needs a positive mindset to get him back.

    He probably will, and rightly so, but the thought of Butler at No 2, mad as it seems, sets the pulses racing.

    This was test match cricket but not as we know it. Bloody fantastic.
