2. Ryan Harris

Harris was Australia’s outstanding bowler in the first innings picking up a five-for. He will have to put in a performance of an even greater magnitude on Day 3 if he wants to create a miniscule chance for his team.

His ability to swing the ball in to the right-handed batsman will come in handy at the start of the day as Root has shown vulnerability to that kind of bowling. He is a tidy customer and will not give away runs cheaply. It will be interesting to see the approach that the English batsman take towards him as he can be targeted if England decide to play a more aggressive brand of cricket.
