    Does Bracewell look like getting anyone out?

    He has had a couple of decent balls that have troubled the batsmen (mostly a more watchful Stokes), but largely Root is aggressively feasting on pies. Between that and lunch hopefully he can run another partner out after eating too much.

    Depends if Smithy has left anything for anyone else

    We're just not getting the rub of the green - edges falling short, or going over slips.

    Such is life, but damn it's annoying.

    Well, at least we’ll go down as plucky losers instead of the hiding that was on the cards a couple of days back.

    Has anyone got anymore straws for me to clutch ?

    @Chris-B Root. All day.

    Is that an instruction?

    For a short time we were often the plucky winners...

    Clutch by Stokes and Root. Stokes has always been a clutch player, though.

    Gotta recognize the 'moments' , not roll over meekly after keeping a team out there for 160 overs.

    @Rapido nice work.

    Root though, he's untouchable, he will guide England home without even breaking a sweat here.

    Bloody impressive to score two tons in a test, especially in a serious 4th innings chase. Losing the captaincy suits Root.

    that ball is following Bracewell. Nice catch under pressure.
