00:00Edged, I'm just falling short I think.
00:10Check out Darwin, the man at first slip.
00:15Darwin's been very deep at first slip all game.
00:21Noticeably deep.
00:23That carried pretty well, but...
00:28Too deep, yeah, he's just too deep.
00:33We talked about Joe Root maybe being too close at fourth slip, but at first slip you can afford to come forward on this track.
00:44Runs.
00:46May not go all the way.
00:53Three runs for DeWalt.
00:58Interesting footwork, unusual footwork as far as Root is concerned, but it pays off.
01:05Adjusted very nicely.
01:07Found the gap, found the boundary.
01:18Control the shot well.
01:21Shuffle down.
01:23Quickly into position.
01:24Side two on the leg.
01:27Root drives down the ground.
01:29It was a real loosener from Ishan Sharma.
01:31A long half volley.
01:33And Root has put it away.
01:36Good shot.
01:39Still amazed me.
01:40I think I was on with David Lloyd or Michael Holding the other day saying,
01:44when the quicks come back from a spell, I don't understand why they don't bowl a really good short ball,
01:51good bouncer rather than just lob something up.
01:53I think of someone like a Dennis Lilley.
01:55He used to come in and bowl you two or three.
01:57Bang one in with a bit of aggression.
01:59Get over the body loose.
02:01Just lob up.
02:02A hard volley.
02:10Driven again.
02:11It's through extra cover this time, but it's equally good.
02:13And same result.
02:18Yeah, good shot again.
02:19Just looking around the field at the Indians, there's a few hands on hips
02:22and a little bit of staring at the ground and just hoping and wondering what's going on
02:27because this game is just slowly coming back into a 50-50 match.
02:31England now only need 1.55 to win.
02:34Root's on 47.
02:35Moinelli's on 36.
02:36The partnership's worth 92.
02:38Probably just over 10 or 11 minutes to go to lunch.
02:41It's been a good session from England.
02:43And again, and Joe Root goes through to 50.
02:50Three fours in the over from Ishan Sharma.
02:53Brought back to try and pick up a wicket before lunch,
02:56but it's Root who's giving him some hammer.
02:5851 now, 122 balls.
03:05And he looks pretty pumped, Joe Root too.
03:08There's a lot to like about Joe Root.
03:10We've said it for a while.
03:11He looks like he's one of those guys with a lot of ticker.
03:14Good guy to play with.
03:16Always up for the scrap and up for the fight.
03:19Looks disappointed when he lets the team down and plays a bad shot
03:22or gets out for a low score.
03:24Means a lot to him.
03:25Sure, it means a lot to everyone, but he's just got that extra bit of oomph
03:27and he's got that happy knack of when the team really need him to get some runs.
03:31He's done it a few times now.
03:33Short again and pulled away this time by Root.
03:38Better play.
03:39More confident shot by Root.
03:41Short again and pulled away well.
03:46This might be in the gap.
03:47Yes it is.
03:48Much better as you say, Andrew.
04:01It looks so much better, doesn't it?
04:07Short again and pulled away again.
04:09In front of square this time and it races away for four.
04:12Pulled away again from Root.
04:13It's in the air.
04:14He's gone now as well.
04:15Short ball works again for India.
04:16And England are now on the brink.
04:18A long walk back for him as well.
04:19He goes for 66.
04:20He's played exceptionally well.
04:21England are now 201 for eight.
04:23Tick.
04:24What?
04:25It is of course is a game.
04:26Bulls, one of the big players are 12.
04:27Yeah.
04:28It's got the hockey players out of the pool.
04:29So it looks so bad for him.
04:30It's up for three.
04:31This is a big data list.
04:32It's taken out of the ball and it's within the game.
04:33The ball is our time.
04:34It's got the ball and it feels so good.
04:35It's got the ball out of the pool.
04:36It's got it.
04:37It's got it.
04:38It's got it.
04:39It's got it.
04:40Now it's got it.
04:41well and you're now 201 for 8.
