Joe Root 105(152)

72.6
W
Prasidh to Root, out Caught by Dhruv Jurel!! Oh edged, Jurel had to dive to the right and he pouches it safely. Well, well, the set Joe Root has been removed when both the bowlers are getting some movement and troubling the batters. Is there a twist to this game? Root's habit of dabbing to third man brings about his downfall. This was a short of length delivery outside off stump, Root got sucked into a push away from the body as it left him off the pitch. Thick, but funny edge that lobbed and died on the keeper but Jurel made no mistake. Two quick wickets and India have a bit more hope now. Root c Dhruv Jurel b Prasidh 105(152) [4s-12]
