Was there today. Beautiful day for cricket. A few very poor shots, but Root looked imperious until his final shot. Impressive cameo from Gus at the end. Hoped for more from Pope, Brook and Smith but they never seemed to get to the pitch, so maybe it's harder than it looks.
They were saying on TMS that the Lords pitch did less today than on any other Test (first? can't really remember) day in 20-something years, so most likely not.
