“Still 20 minutes from the possible start, each has their sunglasses at the train station,” Broad wrote on X.“He felt that supporters deserved to see the completion of this test match today. He felt the lazy decision that in my opinion it would evoke it at 6pm. I wonder who is doing it?”The last session resumed after a short rain delay, during which Joe Root completed his century. Bethell, who managed to hit Akash Deep on four covers, was bowed to Prazidh Krishna while trying a big shot.The tension increased when Krishna suffered Smith with both internal and external edges. Siraj hit Smith and Root on their pads with incoming vans and India unsuccessfully reviewed the Krishna’s delivery to Root.
