I am a Yorkshireman and a huge Root fan and I also think he should bat at 3, I know he prefers to bat at 4 but the best thing for the team has to be him coming in at number 3.

If you are not already watching, turn on the Test match. Great game in progress.

If these two can knock the runs off, the tabloid punster headline writers will have a field day with Chase and Hope. 😎

[tikay]

Chase out, but Hope remains.

[tikay]

Jeez, Blackwood lost the plot completely that over.

[tikay]

Not sure if Blackwood is a genius, or an idiot.

The new ball was taken and given to Jimmy Anderson. Very first ball, Blackwood knocks it straight back over Anderson's head for six......

They don't hang about on Wiki.

Within a minute of Hope scoring his century, Wiki noted......


"On the 29th August 2017 Hope became the first batsmen to score a century in each innings at Headingley in a First Class game, in a test victory against England.

A little early to say this though.....

in a test victory against England

[tikay]

Oh my, oh my.

Seen in context, that was sport at its finest.

Well deserved victory,typical England though good the bad usually followed by another good one

The year is 2037

"...of course, we haven't seen an attacking declaration from Joe Root since that Headingley Test of 2017..."
