England vs West Indies - 2nd Test

So much for the new batsmen staking a claim.

If the newbies can’t do it against the Windies, I’m not sticking my head out from under the Duvet while we have to bat against the Aussies. Right bloody mess now.

Root must bat 3 Hayles has to come in at 5 and perhaps Buttler as the extra batsman but fvck knows who they can get to open with Cook

50 FOR ROOT & A WORLD RECORD!
Root sweeps Bishoo in front of square for a boundary and in the process, joins AB de Villiers as a world record holder for completing 12 consecutive fifties in Tests. Some effort, and company he’s keeping, eh? It’s his 31st in Tests. Go on, Joe - double it.

You had to post that trippy

Root gone still 25 runs less than need for a 1st innings lead :sunglasses:
