A decent enough day's work. O'Rourke will be a handful on this pitch.

Their lowest test score not the lowest which unfortuneately is held by NZ 26 v England at Auckland in 1955And good old Sri Lanka just made a record: Lowest Innings Total in a Test. It was 71. But the current crowd just cruised past that to make it now 42. Yep, worst by 29.
And they went and beat us 2-0 in a Test series not too long ago...
Bright side: It means Sri Lanka are worser than our 45 all out against South Africa in Capetown in 2013.
It has been good to see Root recalculate his approach because in the early days of Bazzball he was getting out to maddening shots. He left a lot of runs on the table that he is too good to foregoI never know what England are going to score. They could just as easily get 450 as be all out for 190 with a number of the better players being caught out on the boundary playing T20 shots. Root aside, the tactics are usually madness. If New Zealand have decent spinners we are knackered
I wish Brook would do the same. Hugely talented with shots all round the wicket but plays like a maniac at timesIt has been good to see Root recalculate his approach because in the early days of Bazzball he was getting out to maddening shots. He left a lot of runs on the table that he is too good to forego
Smith looks a good prospect, just overstepping a bit which he needs to sort out but wow Joe Root gone as I type!
Unusual today as they caught everything in India. Smith should have four by now.Some bloody poor catching.
Smith the poor buggar.
Unbelievable
Philips......
And Philips needs to bat ahead of him. Feels like we are leaving runs out on the field with him having to try and manipulate the strike with the tail.Blundell needs to take his catches at the very least. It is tough keeping in India, but he hasn't been as tidy as he could have been in addition to a lack of runs. England were rescued by their wicket keeper batsman. We need more.
Untidy Kiwis, great chance slipping away here
