As I said earlier, I didn't see this match but
that Sophia gardens is a bugger to bat on as the England Sri Lanka games showed last week. As such I wouldn't be too harsh on the batsmen for "steadying the ship" midway through the innings, particularly if the opposition's danger men are bowling.

Anyway, the result is all that matters and you have shirley got to give Root credit for his part in the win.
Without Root’s innings we would have lost
