00:00It's a magnificent cover drive to get himself under way. It should go down the slope before.
00:08Wonderful timing and a real positive start. Martin Crowe's expression is staying in the now
00:13and that's where Joe Root's got to be. He's going to get a lot of awards. He's going to be
00:17a wonderful cricketer over a long period of time and he's going to stand and make
00:21acceptance speeches on a lot of occasions. But it's right now that matters, especially
00:28when your side's in stock. Well, that swung.
00:36Wasn't a bad delivery, but it's not a bad shot either. And the end result is four more.
00:43Yeah, nice intent. Straight away, Joe Root's come out and he's been busy.
00:47Eight runs off five deliveries. He's at two fours. I think that's one of the things that
00:52the England selector's got to look at that top order. One, two, three.
00:58Again, just played into that space. This time slightly behind square, this time
01:03with perfect timing. And this time it's not two, it's four.
01:12Beautiful played that. He's in full control.
01:15He's weighted, swivelled.
01:19It's two. It's good to see this
01:21form of play here, tacking.
01:37Registration of your car.
01:38Fifty partnership comes.
01:48That's good shot. That's four.
01:50Always get rewarded for your shots at Lord's.
01:53Quick outfield.
01:55Good stuff this one in. Good counter attack.
01:58Ninety-eight for four.
01:59That's going to be four.
02:14Just drop that a little bit short.
02:16Lord's looking for anything short.
02:18Both these backs from Will.
02:21It's going away now.
02:22So it brings the 100 up.
02:23103 for four.
02:25Partnership moves on
02:26to 73.
02:27It's four more for Joe Root.
02:38He'll be looking for anything short.
02:40Whether it's offside or leftside.
02:50That will take Joe Root to 48.
02:53Just 45 deliveries.
02:55I reckon it should be lunch.
02:57That's four.
03:04Not quite the right line.
03:06No, I just needed help.
03:07I think I'd look good in that.
03:10You look good in anything.
03:12But it brings me to the IPL.
03:14I had the waist caught on.
03:15I saw that. What was happening there?
03:17Really, I'm going to put it on.
03:18I've been out of the pub in it anyway.
03:24Lovely shot.
03:25Punched down the ground.
03:26Mid-off was a little bit wide.
03:28Root moves into the 90s.
03:30Now he definitely tried to get that one up, didn't he?
03:32You could see it just looped.
03:35But at above the batsman's eyeline.
03:37Will it get through?
03:41Oh, a bad bounce.
03:43A really bad bounce off one of the old wicket ends.
03:46And that's four more.
03:47Corey Anderson not pleased.
03:492.46 for five.
03:51Oh, has he nicked that?
03:56Is it a bottom edge?
03:56Yes.
04:00That's twice now.
04:01England batsmen have got themselves in the 90s.
04:03And they've gone.
04:04How disappointing for Joe Root.
04:07Another good moment for Matt Henry.
04:09Desperate for Joe Root to fall two runs short of what would have been a superb 100.
04:14But he's gone for 98.
04:16And England two.
