The opening test match between England & Australia is evenly poised. Aussies require 174 runs with 7 wickets in hand. England’s star batter Joe Root played a fine knock and took the team out of the muddle. Joe Root was seen playing a lot of innovative shots and scored 46 runs in 55 balls and struck 5 fours and 1 six.

England would be happy after taking the priced wicket of Steve Smith just at the end of Day 4. The veteran speedster Stuart Broad was the pick of the bowlers as he took 2 wickets and conceded 28 runs in his 9-over spell.

Australia needs to be careful in the morning session of Day 5 as Usman Khawaja holds the key. The likes of Cameron Green & Travis Head would be tested as Ben Stokes can be seen marshalling his troops smartly.

England on the other side needs a flurry of wickets and perhaps, Stokes should start Day 5 with Anderson & Broad as the deadly duo can be a force to reckon with on the surface which has started to deteriorate.

Obviously, I was preparing for T20 cricket – Joe Root

Joe Root was having an interaction with Sky Sports and stated his game improved because of IPL 2023 despite getting limited opportunities in the Rajasthan Royals (RR) setup. Joe Root made it clear that he knows how to succeed in Test cricket.

“You’re playing a full schedule of international cricket all the time, you don’t get blocks to train or a chance to improve. Obviously, I was preparing for T20 cricket while I was out there. I have quite a bit of experience behind me now,” said Joe Root.
