CAPTAINS IN PINK AS NEW BOYS FAIL
England captain Joe Root produced a record breaking innings to help put England in control on the opening day of this first day-night Test against West Indies. Root’s sublime century, the 13th of his Test career, was the 11th consecutive Test match in which he has scored a least 50, surpassing John Edrich’s England record of ten consecutive matches established between 1969-71. The Yorkshireman is now just one behind South African AB de Villiers’ world record of twelve. But when he’s in this kind of form who would back against him equalling that on his home ground of Headingley next week? Root’s third-wicket partnership with Alastair Cook stood at one hundred and seventy six by tea with his predecessor as captain on eighty five after failures from debutant Mark Stoneman and No.3 Tom Westley reduced the hosts to 39-2.
