    Must be the most understated six/200 up I’ve ever seen. I thought for a second “has it gone, has he done it?”

    Form is temporary class is permanent! I think he's been stung a little bit by criticism over his conversion rate at test match level (over the last 18 months) and some people (I may have made a few comments too) saying he's no longer in the same league as Smith, Kohli and Williamson!

    Well done Root, you're a joy to watch! Keep it going fella!

    The commentators are reckoning that Chris Silverwood has lightened his load as captain by having more responsibility for coaching sessions etc and that has helped big time.

    Root keeps smashing those stats:

    First player to score a double Hundred on their 1100th Test match

    First player for over 30 years to score over 200 in India

    Keep going Joe :)

    Nice cameo appearance from Simon Hughes on video call explaining about how swing bowling works.

    I'm really impressed with this Channel 4 coverage so far

    Never mind Joe, it was a good knock. Waste of a review though.

    Great knock Joe. I wouldn’t mind a quick collapse now and have a go at them tonight

    He's obviously got a bit of a weakness in the early 200s. India will have noticed that.

    Buttler needs to get going. I don't think he looks comfortable prodding.

    Wife's just got up asked "How's Rooty batting today?"

    OK, says I, we're just checking what his highest Test run score is...... Oh ****, why did you have to ask? lol :)
