Jadeja to Root, FOUR, bad bounce for Karun at backward point and that won't please Jadeja at all.

Jadeja to Root, 3 runs, Jadeja is livid with Shardul at mid-on. And rightly so. Flicked to his right and he overruns the ball and slips, the ball slips away to his left and he takes his own time to get up, that's what angers Jadeja, who screams at Shardul, Root is aware and they pinch three. Shardul took a while to get up and Root sensed the chance to convert the 2nd into a 3rd. Shardul just smiles at Jadeja and seems to plead his case
61.3
Jadeja to Root, no run, cracker! Absolute peach. Was there an outside-edge? Drift in, pitches on a good length, hint of turn away, Root gets forward to defend and there was a noise as ball went next to bat, but Pant drops it. Need UltraEdge to find out if there was an edge, also bat was next to pad too
61.2
Jadeja to Root, no run, wow! Phew. Gill is shocked at the ball-tracking. India now have no reviews left. This is how Root used to get out to Jadeja in India. Misses the slider as he gets forward to defend, rapped on the pads in front of middle and leg, ball-tracking shows it to be missing the stumps, going over. Was that bouncing so much? Gill and the Indians can't quite believe their eyes as they watch it on the big screen. Umpire Gaffaney shook his head even as Jadeja kept appealing, he convinced Gill to go for it. With the impact around the kneeroll, hard to see that bouncing so high - especially from a good length area, but that's what ball-tracking shows

Bumrah to Root, FOUR, one of his strengths. A back of a length delivery outside off, Root goes on the back foot and punches it with an open-face, down into the ground and wide of backward point, runs away.

A better throw and Duckett was in huge trouble. Karun has his hands on his head. A chance missed
46.3
Prasidh to Root, no run, what a beaut! How has that missed off and middle? Similar delivery to the one that got Pope out. A sharp wicked inswinger and it nips back in a long way, cuts Root in half on the defence, past the inside-edge and just the bounce saves Root, flies over off and middle, Pant dives to his left to take it.
