One of those classic examples of an out of form batsman deciding to bat his way back into form with improvised flair at the start of their innings.
Works every time.

Root may as well open. He almost does the job now anyway!

Be interesting/ infuriating to know how often he comes in when we're in single figures

So close!! 12 mins 8 balls 1 run
I shouldn't laugh, this will be me come Sunday...
Without wishing to scupper the whole thing...
Hales 50*(52)
and Root 38*(43) seems to be bimbling along nicely... England 90-1 (17 overs)

I'm very envious of the crowd. Sun, beer kicking in, two entertaining batsmen at the crease. Summer is most definitely here.
Bairstow is more than capable. Opens for Yorkshire now and scored 170 odd opening a while back
