Closest (or most recent) since would be last time Root got 4, last time we were in South Africa I think?

Correct - 4/87 in PE January last year. Flintoff took 4/99 in Brisbane in '06.

Root got four in the innings win at Port Elizabeth.

I love Stats Guru.

Might have a nibble on the draw @200s. Some rain/sleet due.

 

[Steve in Japan]

Take a bow Joe, that really was something special

 

[The Wizard]

Be very surprised if we make 150

 

[pasty]

200 lead and win?

 

[Greg Bobkin]

I guess there's no chance of Root batting on for too long before deciding to declare in THIS Test Match?

 

[Eeyore]

Thing is, any tweaker who can hit a length in this match is quids in. That's why Root is a better option than Bess.

But if this carries on the ICC will be taking a look. 18 wickets to the spinners by lunch on the second day....

 

[ManOfSussex]

I wonder how many wickets down we'll be before we take the lead in the match.

Nope. The BCCI have too much control over international cricket for anything to happen
