Denly has now scored only 13 fewer runs than Root in this series.
Not knocking Root but a few years ago you tended to see him and Smith as being at a similar level (alongside the likes of Kohli and Williamson) but he's well off it now
I would like to see Leach bowl over the wicket for a spell at Smith for two reasons, one to hit the rough and secondly to dry him up a bit because then that might cause him to get even more funkier.
Hard to see what he was doing/saying and looked like umpire told root off and signalled up as if he’d got a warning? Nothing mentioned on TMS. Was it for anything?
Bairstow's just been caught on the stump mic giving fair and impartial advice to Jack Leach about his bowling to Wade. "Come on Leachy, let's have this shit stirrer again."
I heard the commentators said he is suffering from a bit of man flu this morning. He didn't look that well. Shame he didn't have that all bloody summer. Canters. I think you will be ok for tomorrow. Should finish today and you will get a full refund.

Bairstows average with the bat since he reclaimed the gloves from Foakes is barely above 18.
Simply not good enough.

A ton for the Panto villain in 2nd Innings ?
Great view from the Laker balcony. Hadn't sat there before. Padded seats and lots of leg room.
Great atmosphere in the ground. Whole place stood for "stand up if you love jack leach".
