Joe Root targeted an amazing 150, which not only placed it second in the leading Test run scorers of the time, but also dismissed England in a completely dominant position in the fourth Test of the Emirates Old Trafford, with the hosts closed for 544-7, 186 runs from India.
The day starts from 11, and the fifth run in the list of fifth runs, Root pushed Rahul Dravid into the past when he was raising his score to 30 and then immediately at 31 Jack Calls. Later, he left Ricky’s next pontling in his eyes – and a score of 120 is required.
Former England captain traveled to the 38th Test ton – Kumar Sangakkara tied the fourth in this special list – before England won a huge lead, Oli Pope (71) and Ben Stokes (77no) also hit half a century.
Stokes’ innings was stopped for almost an hour when he suffered a 66 injury to Craamp, but he will return with the fall of England’s seventh wicket, the dangerous Jamie Smith (9) and Chris Vox (4) left in the evening meeting fast.
Upon returning to the middle, Stokes stopped a contact, which would cause concern for the England camp, but gradually his innings increased and the captain would now look at the first Test ton in four days in two years, as well as further strengthening his team’s advantage.
England resumed 225-2 on the third morning, still in 133 arrears, the pope and root calmly and confidently decide about their work to collide.
There was a strange fear, to start before the afternoon in the flowing field with India, no more than the root should not have been eliminated when a wild embarrassment on Ravindra Jadeja’s stump – no one backed up – instead allowed him and his fifty contributions to his fifty.
On the way to half a century, Root eliminated Dravid and Calees, the pope brought in front of him, England No. 3 had been dropped by Dhru Jurl at 49 when the previous over stood near Anshol Kamboj.
Washington Sunder (2-57) immediately after lunch. Later, with a double strike, the mockery of not being introduced to the 69th over, the off -spinner picked up the Pope, which withdrew to end the 144 -run stand for the third wicket, and Harry Brooke (3) emphasized two beautiful flight supply.
Root against tired India and Stokes cash
At this stage, England were still ashamed of India’s first innings, and because of the second new ball, but any hope is expected that visitors may need to travel more and the roots and stokes were eliminated rapidly against their conflict attack.
Jasprett Bumra went out of the field after just one over, which costs 11, with the second new ball, the ankle troubles restricted it from bowling until after tea, while Mohammad Siraj soon worked with Kamboj and Shardol Thackeray with less than 10 overs.
The root, after a few panic moments on 98 – is constantly remembered in three games and the same Siraj where he knocked on his stump with his thigh pads – he will expose his 38th Test hundred, after which he passed through Ponting once again to the old Trafford’s crowd.
Root greeted the moment with a little more than half -hearted, anxious to kick more and anxious to make England an inaccessible lead that he and Stokes surpassed 100 after tea.
Stokes, as it has been this summer, struggled with the bat for his usual time and rhythm, even fought the pitch on one occasion while breaking a reverse sweep for four from Jadeja.
As he received the first fifty of the summer, he began to look at his best place anywhere, causing him to be disturbed, confirmed by England, and, as a precautionary measure, left the field at 66.
He opened all kinds of India, and he took advantage of it, working for the Jadeja (2-117) route, just as it only needed such a jifa to eliminate his excellent innings, while Bumra (1-95) and Siraj (1-113) were spreading late and woxing.
Liam Dawson (21) played well to further strengthen his claims of England’s frontline spinner for Ashes, its lower order certainly handed it over to a edge above Schwab Bashir, while the number 10 and 11 are still in the shape of the Briden Cars and the Jofra Archer.
Pope: ‘Roll Model’ Route is hungry and drive
Oli Pope of England that makes the root so special:
“I think it’s his appetite and his drive.
“You see all the batsmen in the changing room and everyone has taken something from what, not technically, but more than the way it goes about his cricket and his training.
“That too is a disturbing Block Block.
“There is a lot we can learn and like it.”
Broad: There is no symptom of root stop
Former England’s partner Stuart Broad:
“They [Root] Rahul Dravid, Jacks Callis and Ricky Ponting played beautifully today [and become the second-highest run-scorer in Test cricket]To bring one more, he hopes the game will win.
“I was out to eat with her last night and she was amazingly comfortable, enjoying her cricket, and there are certainly no signs of her stopping.
“Her hunger is huge to make runs.”
Ponting: England are red hot favorite
Former Australian captain Ricky Ponting:
“I thought that this morning, England like the red warmth if the first session went well and all the day went well.
“But, what I would say is that India is accustomed to playing the pitch with variable bounce and a little turn.
“I will not refuse to dismiss them in the second innings.”
