Joe Root props up England with glorious, impish century to give them a sniff of victory

The Telegraph  

By Scyld Berry at Trent Bridge Packing the batting has seldom worked in Test cricket. Rory Burns England supporters might have been so mentally scarred by recent collapses that Burns’s century in the first Test against New Zealand, and 81 in the second, have been forgotten. Yes, he was brilliantly duped by Jasprit Bumrah first time, but the ball has not swung so far in England’s second innings and Burns has looked the part. It would not be a sight for sore eyes, rather to make them sore, but England in their present plight would settle for Sibley simply surviving and scoring the occasional run off his legs: no complaints, for the time being, that his scoring-rate is only 35 runs per 100 balls i.e. And he will have had time overnight, if not to get much sleep, then to dwell over England’s shortcomings in the field - two under-performing bowlers, three dropped catches and four missed run-outs.
