Joey! One of dem cricketers of whom you'd always feel happy to see their ascendancy. Well played son. Quality double ton.

A special innings and if anybody did notice that only 64 out of 200 runs came in the form of boundaries. Absolutely incredible,some hard running between the wickets. Rotation of strike was something that was direly missed earlier on.Good innings Root...Showing signs of maturity and playing at the highest level..!!
