28th over: England 97-2 (Bairstow 23, Root 67) This is a stunning innings from Joe Root. He hits Embuldeniya for three boundaries in four balls - sweep, reverse sweep, cut - and has now raced to 67 from 76 balls. When he came to the crease, England were five for two in the eighth over.
âHi Rob,â says Charles Sheldrick. âNot sure I get the three reviews to counter potential bias from non-neutral umpires... surely if they are not neutral then they will be biased towards one side or the other, so why to both sides get an extra review? Surely the side thought to be favoured will not need it? Or, as seems likely to me, are the powers that be worried that the general standard of umpires is lower but are too scared to admit it?â
