England 271-8, Australia yet to bat: Joe Root’s 57 did little to help as the hosts slumped from 103-1 to 205-7 in two hours of slow-motion car-crash batting

It’s now more than two years since Root hit a first-innings century in Tests, a run going back 28 innings. By way of comparison, Kane Williamson has made five hundreds in his last 28 first innings; Virat Kohli eight; Steve Smith 10. Root’s failure to convert promising starts into big match-winning scores have been analysed to death over the last few years, yet often as an adjunct to England’s wider issues, an irritating offshoot of a much wider problem.
