Tongue to Rahul, out Caught by Root!! Edged and taken! Nothing shot from Rahul, once again he's perished after working hard. Good length delivery just outside off, angled in and nipped away off the seam, drew Rahul into a bit of a poke and it caught a thick outside edge that went straight to Root. Fairly simple catch, a little low to his left but held safely. Rahul was rooted to his crease there and he'll be kicking himself for not leaving this. Just a lapse in concentration and he pays the price. England draw first blood. Tongue tortured him with the away-seaming ball umpteen times and eventually gets him. Rahul c Root b Tongue 7(28) [4s-1]

Tongue to Rahul, no run, Tongue is troubling KL. Near unplayable ball that angled in, pitched on the off stump, seamed away. KL did well to get his bat inside the line and miss it completely.
