The first three Wood Overs went for 31, while at the other end, Woakes also took punishment, the five first overs for 23 walks.
Root was forced to bring back back into the attack and at the last second before the first break he attacked in an almost funny way.

Robinson and spacious certainly feel like they are playing on the land of England when the ball bites from stitches and moves in the air.

Broad then claimed Khawaja’s goal, was arrested by the roots on the first slip, bringing Smith to the fold.
But Smith, so often British torture, only took two balls before crawling into Crawley and gave Robinson’s second goal.
The head and green looked like hitting through the second session until the former concentration was lost after lifting the century.
