England resumed the day at 3 for 211 and in many ways it's Joe Roots day with 160.

His 41st test match century equalling Ricky Ponting.

2,000 runs away from Sachin Tendorka.

But in also many other ways, it really was Australia's day for taking 7 for 130, sorry, 7 for 173 and then scoring at five and over to be two for

166 and that 218 runs behind england it is australia's day but joe root had a nice day

and isn't that nice for everyone pezzar was this he goes the most normal day of cricket in the series that's what that's what i'm asking

um we will come to james smith i'll i'll always think of james smith i know everyone's thoughts goes but what about

this other idiotic thing that i saw we will come to it but like unpopular opinion in

uh relation to this series but this is a good game of cricket that we are seeing.

Yuck.

England compiled their highest score of the series.

Yes, punctuated by moments of idiocy,

and we always think there could have been more.

But like, this is a game where they have taken,

you know, a circuitous route to a decent score.

It has worked for them with all of the dumb shit that happens, but they have a guy that

is going to be probably the greatest run scorer in test history who makes 160 test match

runs.

He will go down as the highest scorer in the game.

That won't upset anybody or any community of people.

And they were aided by a good wicket and like a conducive deck.

And then Australia batted and they were aided by a good wicket and some very ordinary bowling.
