I know it was a lucky innings because he could have been out before scoring a run, but there is something remarkably "Aussie a la 1997-2005" about the way Root has made Australia pay. Running out of superlatives for the lad, he really is a top player

With that Root hundred, England have the same number of individual centuries as they did in the 2013/14 Ashes series

Anything can happen with a round ball.

Coz we're going up, and we'll win the cup, for Sussex by the Sea!

I think these days the umpire takes twenty minutes from when they come off, rather than coming back at the designated time. Just something I've noticed.

Great knock from Joe. He's the heart of the England batting side.
I always say that everybody's right.
