Good batting the last few overs, if we can get the rate up against the 'b' bowlers here it's puts some pressure on them to bring Morkel and Phillander back on which means they're not going to get a rest before the new ball.

150 up for Root and a very tidy knock from Ali so far as well to get us 308-5.  At 17-2 you'd take that and at 76-4 you grab it with both hands.  Brilliant fightback by Root and well supported by Stokes and Ali.

150 partnership up from 177 deliveries, that's a stunning counter-attack, completely game changing.

We are twatting it around like the 30-40 overs in an ODI. Very impressive.

Terrible first session, good 2nd session, superb 3rd session which has put England well on top at stumps.

Tremendous comeback from Root, supported well by Stokes and Ali.  We're in a good position, but are still going to need a good morning tomorrow to really get a solid advantage.

Of course but with the batting still to come 450-500 really should be the target.

Could well be Paul.  Quick couple of wickets though and we could be struggling to make 400.  Would love to see Root push on tomorrow past the double hundred towards a treble.

Great innings by Roooooot but also the luckiest innings I've seen in a test

I'm holding you responsible for this, just so you know!

To be fair the one that got Root was a beauty.  Dawson was unlucky for me, but got made up for by Broad getting a life.

Geoffrey saying that no batter should fear getting hit by the ball because they're not going to get hurt

He seems to have completely forgotten about Phil Hughes

Wag wag.

Brilliant little t20 inspired partnership from Broad and Jimmy.  That's got to feel like a kick in the balls for the bowlers after working so hard to try to keep the target down.
