He’s not the most natural captain I’ve seen. In fact, there really aren’t too many good captains floating around Test Cricket at all really. Kohli, Holder and Shakib are all ‘climb on my back’ style captains, rather than man managers or blessed with tactical nous. Root and Smith are a bit the same, as is Williamson. Karunaratne and Sarafaraz are the ones holding those poisoned chalices, and The rest are captains by default really (FDP, Paine, Rashid Khan and whoever captains Ireland).
Anyways, great partnership by Burns and Root, but both went in the space of 2 overs. 175/4. Once again, plenty of pressure on Bairstow and Buttler to score some meaningful runs and assist Stokes in getting a reasonable score.
