Root can concentrate - he has batted over a day several times and has several test and first class scores in advance of 150.  I think sometimes he gets  abit too "in" - but I also wonder to what extent his back problems play into this.

Ps he’s our best player currently so the fact he’s scoring 4 x 50’s in 9 innings isn’t exactly bad anyway.. it’s Just he’s not as good as people say until he can consistently go big.

He’d probably get even more runs if at 5 and behind 4 test quality batters

I honestly don't care about the night watchman decision, it's not something that will make a huge difference in the larger scheme of things.

The real problem is the batsmen that keep giving away their wicket to loose strokes after getting set.

Great grab, I don’t think Curran is going to hang around here before going on the attack.

Maybe Hazelwood misunderstood people "calling for Moeen to be dropped"

Broad's batting is how I'd envisage 98% of us to behave when facing a fast bowling attack like this

This is stupid bowling from the Aussies, if they had any brains at all they'd bowl full and straight and Broad would be gone.

Broad knows he's going to get bouncers every time he walks out to the wicket, so they bowl bouncers at him. Curran and Broad are backing away to every delivery and they're just giving them the freedom to swing their bats.
