In fairness to him we would have been fecked without that partnership. I'm not eager to criticise his batting today.

Looks like an amazing knock from the scorecard. Root is incredible.

Sure but he has a highest score of 42 across all his international games, granted he'll have been stranded a few times. But needs to push on. Quite interesting compared to his bowling where has a surprising number 4 and 5 fers.

Rashid as ever getting runs whilst not looking like he has ever had a lesson in batting. Love it.

You'd think he'd have worked out that his job was to take single and keep Rashid on strike. Ah well.
But I'd have taken this score an hour and a half ago. Quite brilliant from Root and Woakes did way better than I expected.

And all over for 262. Rashid's average batting where he does in these games is remarkable, really.
Not so long ago we were being told that anything around 250 is par for the course in D/N games here. Is that still what people think, or are we way under what we need today?

It used to be that way around 2003.. Ashish Nehra 6-23.
Historically I can remember quite a few occasions where teams have been bundled out chasing under lights in SA, but then again they've looked pretty comfortable so far this series in big chases.Well short at wanderers. Sa will be disappointed they allowed England to recover. But if you had given ab 262 to chase after winning the toss he would have bitten your hand of.
This is not the coast were the ball swings in the evening. The highveld dew will come and the ball will skied on and making batting easier.

That was at durban just like anderon's 4/29 in the world cup vs pakistan was at newlands. Highveld and coastal venues are totally different. Very good lights,not the kind of swing and if there is dew then it becomes very easy to bat second.It used to be that way around 2003.. Ashish Nehra 6-23.
