And yet what followed from England’s first-change was not a sheepish celebration but two arms held out aghast. And three innings into this Ashes series with the ball, the weapons at Root’s disposal look a concern. England, truth be told (and perhaps most worryingly for Root), bowled better on the second day than the first. Trevor Bayliss naturally insisted after stumps on the second day that his side can indeed create chances out here. One ball in, after England’s attack had sent down 894, his was already the fastest delivery of the match.
