I'll give him credit .... he's absolutely fearless while fielding at short leg. Doesn't flinch or blink.


He is, but I'd imagine some short leg fielders of days gone bye would like to wear the protective equipment he has as his disposal.

Hang on ..... your name sake had plenty of padding to protect him. :D

Roots captaincy is strange to say the least. He is use of Woakes is mind boggling. Why he's not opening thus morning is beyond me. He would cut us to pieces in these conditions.

He made that mistake in the first test by saving him for the second session.

Expect he will bowl in the third.

Has some grit about him, not sure if I've ever seen an Aussie opener look so out of his depth in an innings though.

Brought on now, bowled a few looseners to say the least but will find his line soon. Will be a testing time for our top order.

Any wicket keeping experts here? Gee Bairstow looks ordinary, his footwork is atrocious, he's lucky to stay on his feet most of the time.
Why do they swap keepers between this and ODI's?

England will just know if he continues to play the line of the ball outside off stump as it goes across him he will edge one sooner rather than later, it's so frustrating to watch him get out like that again.
