You live by the sword you can die by the sword. Root out going after Ashwin 154-4
It was about the fourth uncharacteristic shot he played in his innings of ten balls. Must’ve just been told to go as hard as possible and get as many as possible while he’s there.
Excellent review as it definitely looked like it was going to go leg side. Crawley out LBW 194/5 and now 194/6 Bairstow LBW and the sheer variety of the Indian attack has England struggling after a positive first hour.
I think Cook is spot on about Root and Bazball - he struggles to get the right tempo sometimes and becomes too aggressive when he is more than capable scoring at a run a ball without being so aggressive.

Listening to Cook and Finn about Joe Root and his record in India with an average of 45 made then wonder why after scoring 16 from 9 balls he's out after a miss hit.
They feel Root so wants to fit in with the Philosophy of Baz and Ben...

Looked plumb in real time, replay suggesting it *may* have hit him outside the off stump line. But he walked without reviewing it.
Impact was umpire’s call as it turns out.

I'm off to bed to get a few hours kip. Good job I work from home.
You were correct and unfortunately 2 more wickets and the best home cricket side in the world are well on top again.
