Lovely bowling, Great test for Root this innings. A big hundred here would enhance his reputation no end.

Lol, Jennings already hailed as the next great hope after just on innings out first ball. Looks like yet another Lyth, Compton, Hales, Robson, etc to me.
Could easily have been a pair of course - need the Great Wall of Bolton back asap
 

Compton

International Debutant
This partnership is the match, isn't it? England need this pair to bat out at least a couple of sessions.

How many debutants have followed up a ton with a golden duck?
He's the first.

Only three players have actually scored a ton and a duck on debut.. Viswanath did it in reverse order to what you said (got the duck first innings) and Mohammad Wasim faced four balls for his duck.

EDIT: Actually there was also Andrew Hudson, but his duck was second ball so Jennings is still the only one to register a ton and then a golden on debut.

It's important, but your middle order is pretty damn strong tbf. Bairstow & Stokes have been as good as Cook in recent times haven't they?

Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Shami are considerably better pace bowlers than Umesh Yadav for me. Once Shami's fit, they must be no.s 1 and 2.

I think they're capable of scoring runs, but if Cook or Root goes early then the middle order won't hold it together.

How is Anderson the best in Asia since Steyn? Serious question. He just picked a few wickets here and there against an Indian line up that was shot in 2012 and the ever hopeless Pak batsmen once. That's it. Starc has more to show and he's played like 1/3 of the number of matches Anderson has overall.
Have you seen the records of literally every other boqler this decade?

Jadeja imitating to lob the ball at Erasmus' head and Erasmus imitating a collapse. Unbelievable
