Ngidi to Root, out Caught by Rickelton!! superb delivery from Ngidi gets rid of an in-form Joe Root!! Pitched slightly fuller than a good length, shapes away after pitching and takes the edge as Root tried to nurdle it away. Lovely catch by Rickelton diving low to his right. As he thuds onto the ground the ball lobs out, but Rickelton was quick to gobble it up once again before the ball hit the ground. A one-handed grab to send back the English batter!
