They sneak a late wicket out of tired fielders at the end of a hot summers day and it's a genius move. Those two knew what england wanted, and came out to dig in. I like how it's a move of aggression and taking the game to the ball gluers. Psycho-analyse it all as much as you need, it is all fine margins and Root was only ever a ball or two away from being forced off. I have no doubt if they'd sent Anderson out there they'd have bouncered him into oblivion.

Get that wicket and the night watchman comes in 1 can become 2 very quickly.

Then you have the possibility of 2 men in tomorrow morning looking to try and build an innings with only 8 wickets to go instead of 10

Good tactics from root
 

It's only
Sounds brilliant to me but I've seen too many batting collapses from this lot to think that will happen.

From my perspective I'm chuffed you declared when you did.

It's only the first day, who knows how it'll pan out ? All going well Australia will be batting last on an uneven wearing pitch. Also, forecast to be cloudy tomorrow, England might get the ball to swing or seam. I'm quite happy at the day's events.
