[zefarelly]

first 4 batsmen hit 50+

wow.

 

[dazzer6666]

Lead over 200…….

 

[Scappa]

Malan 50

I'm sure Sky will tell us shortly, but how long is it since England top 4 all made 50?

2013, apparently.

This is only the ninth time in England's Test history that the top four have all reached 60.

 

[Titanic]

Kohli reviews for caught behind... he's got a feather on it down the leg side, and Malan is out for 70 on the stroke of tea.

Dawid Malan c †Pant b Mohammed Siraj 70 (128b 11x4 0x6) SR: 54.68

Tea, England 298-3, Root 80*, leading by 220 with power to add.

Come on then YJB, lets make it top 5

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Starting to look tricky against spin. Ali, Root and Malan all bowl spin.

 

[Titanic]

England 300-3 (95.5), leading by 222

 

[Steve in Japan]

Even I knew that the wicketkeeper can't tape his gloves together. Bit poor that.

 

[Titanic]

328-3, England lead by 250 runs

 

[Titanic]

Joe Root 100* (124 balls, 12 fours), his 23rd Test hundred

England 333-3 (103,2 overs), leading by 255

 

[pasty]

Another 100 for Joe



Roooooooooooooooooooooooooooot

 

[dazzer6666]

He is on another planet completely. Unbelievable.

Captains knock.... 23rd Ton, how many more will he get?

 

[The Fits]

Captains knock.... 23rd Ton, how may more will he get?

Let’s hope he the same post-30 career as our other World class player. Incredible form.

 

[A1X]

Starting to think this chap can bat, y'know...

17 to this point, including two Cook years (2010 and 2015), Trott in 2010, Pietersen in 2006 and Trescothick in 2002

 

[KeegansHairPiece]

So that is his 6th 100 this calendar year. Only Vaughan and Dennis Compton have achieved 6 in a year previously.

He has 2 more tests here, then 2 Ashes tests before the New Year to be out there on his own...

Back to the game, India are clearly stuffed now so what will Kohli do to get them up for the next Test?

Batting practice for England at the moment.
