Who is this 'Joe Root' bowler, and where has he been until now?

I think I heard Swann, who's commentating for Channel 4, that Stokes has a really good spin action. Maybe they should give him a try as well....

Have never seen bowling stats in any form of cricket like this, let alone Test cricket.

Especially bearing in mind that Root is one of the best BATSMAN in world cricket right now.

5 for? Looks good. Yes!

Hmmm, 33 in arrears.
This will be s real test of a batsman’s patience and technique.

All over before tea on day 3?
And which team will win?

The worrying thing is that if Root can get 5, how quickly will a proper Indian spinner get in the next hour? Bit of a farce really.

Wow. Glad I tuned in this morning. Great job Mr Root.

Don’t know. But it’s a great match to watch and should leave the weekend free to watch the Six Nations!

My wife will be well chuffed.

Anyone got the Channel 4 app on their phone?
I’ve been trying in vain since the 1st Test to download it but to no avail.
Cricbuzz helps but a picture would be nice.

Yeah. More 4. Pretty good on iPad and phone.

And another VERY funny cricket book.
The story of the Bollywood film Lagaan by one of the English actors/cricketers in the film.

Yeah. More 4. Pretty good on iPad and phone.

I’ll try it now!

And imagine if the umpires had given the two wickets-that-werent yesterday?!?
