You've got to give credit to Jack Leach - he came back really well. He bowled a good channel, a good line and length and those were two genuine left-arm spinner wickets.
He needed that confidence for the second innings because if he didn't get any wickets it would have been really difficult for him to come back from that. It also gives a lot more confidence to Joe Root to continue bowling him throughout the day.
The real concern for Root will be Dom Bess. Even though he's picked up four wickets he has bowled a lot of long hops, short deliveries. He needs to bowl a lot better because Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara aren't going to get out in the same way again.
