00:00All up in the air and overslept he was ducking I might just sense an

00:08opportunity Faf du Plessis after that opening partnership of a hundred three

00:14wickets since the break clearly this is a key partnership Pope who's in good

00:18form coming next

00:24it's a good shot from Joe Root

00:30oh I want to take him on and it is safe what do you believe it it lobs up

00:43between square leg and deep square leg troll

00:51clever batting route is one of the few modern players who genuinely plays a

00:56back cut that was slightly different in that he sort of got away from the ball

01:00and helped it because he plays so late gives himself more options than your

02:17this time he's got it wide in the crease really good stuff from Nokia that is outstanding stuff it

02:29really is to cock with those big mitts that is a big big wicket the captain's gone lazy shot

02:37and he pays the price

02:39it will take from the cock he has the gloves in hand route played nicely but really nicely

02:47for his 59 but he has to depart it's 260
