Bairstow has had a really good year in 2016. Added to his runs, his keeping has improved lots too.
Nice little stat from CricInfo:
10 times Bairstow has scored 50+ at No. 5 or lower in 2016. Only 2 others have managed this in a year - Mathews ('14), Chanderpaul ('02)
Vital that. Game on.204/6 Kohli out
It is looking like a small India 1st innings lead unless we can break this partnership.
If they keep scoring like they are against the new ball, I'd suggest it may be more than a small lead.
Well that didnt happen but on the plus side batsmen rarely start the next day as they finished the previous so an early wicket or two and all will be ok.Break this partnership before the close of play and we will be ok?
Morning everyone, currently 88 run partnership, this ain't looking very good is it?
