Root 78*

Jimmay 23*

Last wicket pair : Stumps, Day 3 !

Some fight by the lower order aside, ABYSMAL batting from the middle order. Sure, bowling was pretty fine, but that doesn't negate the shitty batting though. It's still a VERY batting friendly pitch.

Good on Root and Broad though, and Jimmeh obv. If they can get it <100 they may perhaps have a psychological barrier crossed.

Fine bowling by Bhuvaneshwar though.
