Axar to Root, out Bowled!! Axar strikes and he has a beaming smile on his face! It's the important wicket of Root as well! Was the in-drifter from round the wicket and the length was full around off. Root leans ahead to drive it through covers but only manages to get an inside edge which crashes into the stumps. He misjudged the drift and also the length and played down the wrong line as he expected some away turn. Eventually, he ended up yorking himself and paid the price. England losing their way a bit.

Arshdeep Singh to Root, FOUR, oh he's pierced a real small gap between point and backward point. Look at that ball race away. Back of a length delivery outside off stump, Root just placed that on the off-side. Looked like even he wouldn't have thought he could get a four with that shot but such was the placement and Kuldeep couldn't cut that off even with a slide at third man
