Chesney Hughes followed up his first innings 96 with 137 not out in the second...well done, young man.

I suspect no wides was down to a sympathetic and generous umpire who thought the debutant was suffering enough. I remember the visit the launderette tale but thought it was by Tim Rich although in those days several journalists could have had that experience at different times.

Runs for Moeen. Is Root the only England player not at IPL, who isn't playing in the CC?
