    Shardul Thakur to Joe Root, On a good length, outside off, not that wide, Joe Root allows the ball to come to him and gently opens the face of his bat at the last moment. The moment the ball goes past backward point. Root calls for two. He has to put on his skates as it is Ravindra Jadeja at deep backward point, who just hares to the ball and makes the second pretty difficult for the batters with a sharp throw.

  • END OF OVER 39 | 5 Runs & 0 Wkt | ENG 157/2
  • Might be just me but I am getting the feeling that the ball is already reversing. The number of instances of the batters getting defeated in the air, skewing it off the inside edge are increasing in number. And finally, here comes the man with the golden arm - Shardul Thakur.

    Mohammed Siraj to Joe Root, Bowls this one full and wide, enticing the drive and Joe Root looks to get on one knee and hammer it through covers but gets an inside edge as the ball rolls to the leg side, just besides the stumps. Root doesn't have much idea where the ball is and Siraj chases it down in a flash, keeping Root back in his crease.
