TFW Daily: Root continues record run - 3rd Test, Headingley, Day 2

The Final Word Daily for the England-India Tests of 2021. He went from 41st on the list for runs in a year to 17th, in the space of a day. Test ton #23. And Joe Root has never made it look easier. What a difference an opening partnership makes, too. Dawid Malan slotted back in, Mohammed Shami did his best with Jasprit Bumrah, and Ravindra Jadeja picked up wickets. But it was still a day that was really England’s to enjoy, taking an unassailable position in the Test with aeons yet to play. You can support the show at patreon.com/thefinalwordCheck out previous shows at finalwordcricket.comGet 20% off kit at WoodstockCricket.co.uk with the code TFW20 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
