Disgraceful empty seats on a Saturday, why do they bother giving the test to the Lancys?

That was as good as batting with the tail as I've seen from England for some time. Take a bow YJB!
I think Root takes confidence from the fact he has Stokes, Bairstow and Ali to come behind him. If Root batted any higher and had both Westley and Malan behind him he might feel under more pressure. Westley will be key to England if we are to get back to being the No.1 ranked test side.

Which is what I asked but it is very sunny in HH now after a hailstorm lasting about 15 mins and flooding everywhere.
The odd shower this afternoon

Bring Jimmy back in, he should clear up the tail quite quickly.
