3rd Test: Root-Stokes Partnership Is Key For England, Says Trott
Nitish Kumar Reddy: Former England batter Jonathan Trott feels that the partnership between Joe Root and skipper Ben Stokes for the fifth wicket will be vital for the home side to recover from early blows in their second innings against India at Lord's.
England had a bumpy start to their morning session after losing four wickets in the opening session on the penultimate day of the match. Mohammed Siraj provided the first breakthrough of the match with the scalp of opener Ben Duckett, followed by the dismissal of Ollie Pope. All-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy and Akash Deep also bagged one wicket each to press their authority in the match after the first innings ended in a stalemate.
However, the only positive for the home side was the partnership between senior duo Root and Stokes that dragged them to 98/4 at lunch. The veteran batters continued to navigate through a tricky spell, with the bounce showing unpredictably, and have taken England to the 150 mark post lunch.
