What a classy stroke from Joe Root

[Dilbert]

Root Buttler and Ali. 105 in 58... not impossible...

Very poor batting against spinners.

[Aidan11]

RRR back up to 11.


It's Spinal Tap all over again.

[Alviro Patterson]

Very poor batting against spinners.

I'm not sure to be honest, 29 runs off 4 overs of spin in normal circumstances is considered to be good and very few deliveries were dot balls. Yes Root missed out on a couple of long hops but the ball just plugged onto the pitch too much to get it away.

[Durhamfootman]

I confess to being riveted to my screen atm

[Aidan11]

15 runs off that over again.

In normal chase it is okay to score 7 runs per over, but while chasing at 11.5 runs per over that 7 rpo becomes below par.

[Durhamfootman]

RR going in the right direction again

[Durhamfootman]

more wides

always good

[Alviro Patterson]

Are Root and Buttler doing a Windies impersonation of Samuels and Gayle the other day?

[sussexpob]

[Durhamfootman]

[Dilbert]
