    All our top seven batters have now had three innings and Root is our top run scorer with the princely sum of 86*

    I have a horrible premonition of Root missing his ton after being stranded on 95 not out.

    The reality is that this Test will be won by the side that can negotiate the difficult periods best - early on when the ball is hard and also when the light is fading - and not give it away when conditions are at their best to bat. That sounds all very straightforward but it's not something that we've particularly good at recognising under Bazball. Til now hopefully. 
    Duckett and Smith can be excused but Crawley, Pope, Brook and Stokes all passing the Bazball test with flying colours.

    Trying to watch channel 7 via protonvpn and an Australian ip address but doesn’t seem to be working… anyone have any tips?

    Jacks becomes the first Surrey player to get a run in this innings.

    Harsh but very fair imho. Thank goodness for Kent's Crawley.

    Jacks showing that playing the ball late, under the eyes and along the ground rules out at least one mode of dismissal.

    FFS great ball

    Yeah Smith was got out rather than doing something daft, but was only there because of Stokes.

    The reverse scenario of earlier where Duckett was got out and then Pope got himself out

    Jacks could give us a selection issue for the next Test.

    Of course they bring on Starc now. Often gets a wicket in his first over.

    Obviously a plan by England to be bowling tonight with the new ball.

    Jacks was batting so well. Unfortunately he had a wide one that he threw his hands at that should have been his warning but the very next ball does the same thing off Starc and caught by Smith in the slips.

    251-7 (65)

    The waft the ball before was stupid and showed he didnt need to play at that. So why the feck did he play at the 2nd

    and why the hell are we going at Starc. Play him with respect and go for the rest of them ffs. its not that hard

    Jacks played well but another mental aberration. We can’t stop doing it. It is like picking at a scab.

    Root undeniably (if it wasn’t already clear) an all time great. Watch him get a glut of hundreds now

    Brilliant from Root but job only half done. He needs to Marshall the tail and get us up to 350
