Rarely do the fortunes of the Test team depend so heavily on one man than England did on Joe Root this year. He’s repeatedly carried them on his shoulders: their latest wins in the heat and dust of Galle (twice) and Chennai built on hundreds of massive roots – worth 228, 186 and 218 – and last week’s draw at Trent Bridge owed their twin captain roles 64th and 109th.
Here in another massive effort for the Lords of 180 that did not come out, spanning nearly nine hours, gave his team the opportunity to push for what would be an impressive win considering the position they were in at the logs on day one when India were 276 to three.
