do first class records count towards test records? 9 just showed some batting stats for starc and said his best in tests was 99 and his best in first class was 99? so does that mean hes been out for 99 in both formats or are they counting the same innings?

Tests count towards first class.

It's the other way around. His highest test score supersedes his best first class score because its higher.

So, how many wickets down are England going to be when they win later? I reckon 3, maybe 4.

Cricinfo has it on 2 sperate lines which means he has a test 99 and a fc 99 in two different games. I think.

I wonder why there aren't more right handers taught to bowl left handed. Left armers are always handy.

Wait what? Root has facial hair? I just saw him on the telly and it didn't look like he had any.

Also, Starc is batting quite nicely, maybe he can give the middle order a clinic later.
