Who needs Twenty/20?!?Addick Addict said:55-3
Hazlewood goes for 12 in one over, 11 of which are scored by Root.1 -
The batsmen still have to apply themselves in overcast conditions which makes Cook's dismissal at the hands of Lyon even more ridiculous.LenGlover said:
Not working so far is it?Addick Addict said:I think it is safe to say that we have "doctored" this wicket so as not to suit their bowling attack. Good work I say.

70-3
Root, having had his let off after being dropped second ball, is making the Aussie attack look somewhat ordinary with 26 off just 17 balls.0 -
33 run partnership with Ballance and Root has 32 of them!3
-
Ballance now coming to the party with two fours in an over off Johnson.0

88-3 at lunch. Australia's session but a good fightback from Ballance (28) and Root (33).

It's already clear that our hopes of winning the series rely on Root scoring a truck load of runs.1

And the bowlers bowling brilliantly, and the catchers catching everything, and it raining at the right times!Callumcafc said:It's already clear that our hopes of winning the series rely on Root scoring a truck load of runs.

Carrying a number 4 at the moment, Bell has scored 0 or 1 in 6 of his last 9 innings, he has also averaged only 28 since that summer two years ago.
Bairstow must be breathing down his neck!1 -

To be fair to Ballance, Root had more of the strike and he did put a few away just before lunch.guinnessaddick said:

Yeah after I quoted this I saw someone mention it was umpires call. The replay looked like it was heading wide of legharveys gardener said:

Because the hire car i had was tuned into Talksport and me not knowing how to work it, i had to endure Talksport for first session this morning, and was hugely impressed with Didi Hammann's knowledge of cricket - he knew more about cricket and the England players than the other blokes - very knowledgable. Considering he's a Kraut !0

Dick, i'm not saying anything, but i'm eyeing this post !dickplumb said:I am surprised neither of the Marsh's are playing. I think we will be all out for about 220. The Snail to get a duck.

Root gets his 50 (54)

Brilliant from Root once again. I could watch him bat all day. Hopefully I'll get the chance!0

I know i've said this before, but OZ definitely have some of the most obnoxious players around in Warner,Haddin,Clarke and Johnson.
When i eventually got onto TMS this morning, Swanny virtually let it out that Warner was the player who he said 'was so far up his own arris'1 -
Ballance getting a right working over from Johnson. Ballance doesn't like watching the ball or using the bat to hit it either.1

Review for turned down LBW against Root.0

Wasted by Aussies as ball pitches outside leg ;-)0

England's run rate is over 3.8. Fantastic to see England playing on the front foot.2

139-3 at drinks
Ballance 41* (96)
Root 68* (70)
Now batsmen please remember to start all over again post drinks!1 -
143-3 and with the hundred partnership.0

He's clearly a bit out of touch, but fair play to the bloke he's really toughing it out out there. Spending time in the middle is the best way of recapturing form so hopefully after this he can really push on. People forget that since June 2013 he's in the top 10 batsmen in the world in terms of runs scored.Addick Addict said:Ballance getting a right working over from Johnson.

It's handy for Ballance that he's with Root rather than say Cook, as Root scores so quickly that he isn't under pressure to speed upAddickforlife said:

I don't think he ever looks comfortable whether he scores runs or not. What he has got is determination and a penchant for occupying the crease. As time goes on in his innings he finds it a bit easier and the runs come quicker.Addickforlife said:
