Roo🔯t received plenty of praise from his side's batting coach Marcus Trescothick for his unbeaten 119 off 246 balls on Day 1 of the second Test match against West Indies, taking place at the Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados. Riding on Root’s hundred – his 25th in Tests – England reached 244/3 at stumps, with Root standing lonely in the middle.
Following the day’s play, Trescothick lauded Root’s valiant knock, saying, “(On Root) To have the discipline a🥃nd the approach, it’s a real example for everyone else in the side. To get a hundred last week and repeat it again, it’s superb to watch. We expected it to do a b🅘it early, there was spongy bounce throughout the day.”
Trescothick also enjoyed how Root and Daniel Lawrence forged a 144-run stand for the third wicket in a💖 tricky condition in the Caribbean.
“Great day, really positive day for us. To be in this position, we are very hap🌼py where we are. We had a great platfౠorm to go from. To put the West Indies bowlers under pressure, it was a great partnership,” Trescothick added.
England, after opting to bat first, got off to a terrible start as they lost Zak Crawley in the fourth over of the innings🦩, bowled by Jayden Seales. Alex Heels was then joined by Root and played a brief stint while adding 76 runs for the second wicket before Veerasammy Permaul dismissed him for 𓆉30.
Lawrence then came to the crease and built a magnificent partnership with Root, as the duo anchored the innings to get them past the 200-run mark. West Indies final༺ly got a sigh of relief when Jas꧟on Holder dismissed Lawrence after scoring 91 runs with the last ball of the day.
