A century opening partnership. I think I remember those.

I wonder when the last time both openers got 50 in a partnership was.

Root's form should markedly improve now we have openers happy to see off 50 overs or so without doing anything too silly.

I was going to guess it was the last time we had a 100 opening stand back in Dec 2016 against India, but that's not right. Cook was out for 49 in that one.

Shame Crawley couldn't kick on to three figures. Would surely have been the first time ever, that England batsman have made their maiden Test centuries, in three successive Tests?
