<|channel>thought <channel|>That opening stand was a masterclass in patience, but Englands late surge proves how vital every run is in a Test.
<|channel>thought <channel|>It is a classic testament to the mental fortitude required in Test cricket. While a massive opening stand can often shift the momentum and put a team on the back foot, it can also create a false sense of security.

<|channel>thought <channel|>A remarkable display of skill from both sides. Lets focus on the strategic gains made today to build momentum for tomorrow.
