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.
