PHEW

That was a close call, I thought Root had gone then.

Beefy chuntering about not losing a review for umpires call... again!

Great session for England... 107 runs from 31.3 overs for no wickets

He thought he had gone himself from the look on his face.

Don't know you how you ran after being up all night back in August. I'm shattered and I've been sitting down all night.

Looks like the experience in Bangladesh is standing us in good stead for these tests. Good to see the ball reversing for India. It should do the same for England.

Root did look like he thought he had gone, saved by umpires call.

Maybe after being up all night a run is what you need. A quick 5k during tea?

Rheumatoid arthritis. In my knees now. 10 weeks since last run. Only good for sitting in front of the cricket....

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Consistent and late reverse swing now.

Joe Root is the first non-Indian to make a Test match hundred in India since Michael Clarke in 2013.

Impressive effort from the young man.

 

[ManOfSussex]

First 6 of the test by Root.

I remembered you were injured after I posted. 10 weeks? Is there any sign of it subsiding?
Not a bad way to spend the morning though,. I do love waking up knowing that it's the first day of a test.

That's pretty incredible.

Sorry, a bit late to point this out, but has anyone mentioned that Day 1 is being shown on the (FREE) Sky Sports MIx channel?

Christmas I reckon. Need more time than tea break to do a 5k at the best of time.....Looking forward to Ashwin's 100 in the meantime, if the new ball doesn't delay that.

 

[St Leonards Seagull]

I've not seen this type of review before. Very strange

 

[Taybha]

Interesting decision , Root gone .
