Root won the toss and batted on what promised to be a decent pitch - it wasn't. All batsmen found scoring difficult which suggests that the pitch is actually quite slow.
Sibley, on debut, scored 22 but saw off the new ball. There were some question marks about his technique.
Burns marched on to a half century as did Denley who had held the innings together.
Ben Stokes on 67 looks set to be damaging tomorrow and Pope has looked decent.
241 for four - IMHO - England's day.
Self explanatory title. I abhor that nicey nicey, politically correct, pseudo-Christianity which almost always supports leftwing attitudes - which in most cases are profoundly anti-Gospel. This Blog supports persecuted Christians. This Blog exposes cults. This Blog opposes junk science. UPDATED DAILY. This is not a forum. This Blog supports truly Christian websites and aids their efforts. It is hardhitting and unashamedly evangelical so if it offends - please do not come to this site!
