Joe Root hits a magnificent 186 but his dismissal from the final ball of the third day leaves Sri Lanka with a slight advantage in the second Test.
Root is clearly a fantastic batsman
But he keeps making horror story decisions that cost England
The last over before lunch and you expose the new batsman and last recognised scorer to the best spinner leading to Curran's dismissal by taking a pointless single
And getting run out in the last over of the day when patting the ball back is clearly the right thing to do
Some people never mature

Why is Vaughan so negative, he does my fruit in!

Because he's from Sheffield?
The same person who forecast Australia beating India 4-0 in recent series.
Agreed! He's a pain un the whatsit!
Joe scored a century v India in their last match (Cook's farewell match), he averages 52.90 against South Africa, 56.84 against India (has scored more centuries against them than anyone else - 4) and 40.33 against Australia (3 centuries and 13 half centuries) Pretty much scuppers your perceived argument!!
I hope to see Archer and Wood providing plenty of chin music.
His father possesses a British passport, therefore Archer is eligible to play. Simple, really
Absolutely -
Sri Lanka cannot score runs quickly enough to force the result
And surely against this aveaeage attack, even in their own wicket, engerland cannot capitulate in a manner that would allow result.
But let’s wait and see. That’s joy of sport. But I’m still sure it will end up as a pretty tedious draw.

Firey sunrise over London, a dinosaur interrupts play, a blizzard, Grease song, great bowling by the young SL & that innings from Root. Aggers 'getting his meat out.'
A thoroughly entertaining morning.... Removed
