    In Root's defence, he has actually scored a century this series - something that Trott and Cook haven't done. But, I understand why people have their concerns.

    Roger's century has proved that age shouldn't be a barrier, the opener in the best current form is Carberry and he is 3 years younger than Rogers. As much as I would miss him playing for Hants, I think he deserves another shot at Test Cricket.

    Some excellent tail end batting from Wood is really helping Hants. 187/8 from 148/8.

    And he's just clubbed 2 more 4's to go onto 34 off 24 balls. 203/8 now.

    Wood's out for 41 off 29balls. But he's got Hants out of a big hole.

    Hants all out for 216. Not bad considering they were 148/8.

    When England were three down I said I'd accept 200, but now it's looking better (queue glut of wickets) I think we need 300 to give the bowlers something to work with.

    Yeah, great stuff from Wood and Wheater...gives us half a chance if we can get early wickets.

    Still a long way from 300 as wickets are tending to fall in clutches on this pitch....lets hope this pair can stay together until the close.

    Hope they do, but wickets often seem to fall late in the day.

    Hants make a good start bowling, Tanvir gets Rutherford for a duck. 2/1.
