Do you think Joe Root will complete his career with his career?
England reached their 200 runs points in the 64th over, which was single with Mohammad Sirj’s bowling. Root and Stokes then formed an unbreakable partnership, which adopted a more conservative approach to end the day’s game.The pair added 50 runs in 100 balls and maintained their wickets until the stumps, until the root finishing tantalizingi dropped out about 99 not out of their century.Earlier in the day, Nitish Kumar Reddy claimed two wickets in the first season, while Jadeja and Bumrah took one wicket in the following sessions.The day’s play reflected a departure from England’s recent aggressive perspective under the Stokes-Maculam rule, as he focused on making his innings continuously instead of scoring quick runs.
