00:00And now England's captain has another situation to sort out.

00:12That's the way to ease a little bit of the pressure.

00:15Just easing that ball away through mid-wick at the three.

00:19Lovely shot. So sweet that Joe Root basically played it.

00:33Didn't bother going anywhere after that. He was going before straight away.

00:37A beautiful cover drive. Being there for just ten deliveries as Joe Root and he's looked impressive.

00:43Paul just swinging away from the right-hander and met with the middle of Joe Root's back.

00:48To a real strong position. Just holds the pose. He knows he's middled it. No need to run.

00:58Oh! Just away past the galley this time. Not quite so certain with that one.

01:03Morris the man there who is diving away to his rights. Couldn't cut it off. Couldn't get a hand on it.

01:09His body just that little bit further. Just loses control.

01:14That again is good balance, good timing.

01:23I'm just going to start wondering what he's done wrong here.

01:25Because the overs cost 12 already, one ball left.

01:28Two of them have been really good shots, including that one.

01:31One of them nearly brought the wick.

01:33Two fantastic shots. One of the front foot, one of the back foot to bookend.

01:39One that was a bit iffy through the galley region.

01:41But that's as good as it gets.

01:43Once again, beautiful balance. Great position.

01:46Back foot punches from Hashingbamna in South Africa as an incident.

01:51There's a good example from the England captain.

01:5512.

02:0412.

02:0826 for two.

02:15Wooting for McFaddle.

02:17Sure is.

02:19This is fourth.

02:21Boundary.

02:23Of his brief innings.

02:24Just 17 balls.

02:25This is a gift though from Morris.

02:27Short, wide.

02:28And on a testing morning with the lights on and the balls swinging.

02:32Great.

02:33It's about, it's about something like that.

02:35Climb into...

02:37Climb into

02:38Final this time

02:44There's a man out on the cover point boundary

02:46Can't get that

02:46Well he's got to settle

02:49Morris

02:50South Africa without Rabada in this test

02:54Match for well documented reasons

02:56For Morris

02:58And Olive Beard coming into the side

03:00Morris showed in that

03:02T20 match at Taunton

03:03Clipped into the leg side

03:09High class shot

03:1012 overs

03:1154 for 2

03:12Well

03:15Problem for Olive Beard

03:17He's got swing but he's searching

03:20For the right line to make the batsman

03:22Play around off stump

03:23He's getting straighter and straighter and that one's just too straight

03:26Won't swing from there

03:27And that's a gift for Root

03:30Although the conditions are in the bowler's favour

03:34They've still got to get it right

03:35Sometimes when the ball is swinging

03:37Controlling that swing

03:39Pulled away

03:44Or the Pavouma

03:46At mid-wicket

03:47He's going to trickle away for four

03:49Top now 40 minutes

04:00Classy 50 for Joe Root

04:0828th

04:11Test match 50

04:1312 centuries

04:1452 from 40 deliveries

04:199 4s

04:20Third test in a row

04:23That he's got 50 in the first thing

04:25First test match

04:28Was it Lloyds

04:29One was the other

04:29The Chennai

04:30But I said he was playing well

04:40And that is a measure of Root's form

04:43Shortish

04:45Not rank long

04:47Hot from Philander

04:48Just shortish

04:49But Root is reading things so early

04:51Picking the length so early

04:53And onto this in a flash

04:56And fully in control

04:59Very obvious that the captain's

05:07Is affecting his form

05:08It's getting better

05:11Man out of course

05:17Enables Root to pick up a single

05:19That will keep him on strike

05:20Which is not what's

05:21Genuine edge

05:25Kind of controlled

05:26Root plays it late

05:27Run it down

05:28No third man

05:29The boundary

05:31The boundary is really coming off Root

05:32About 11 of them now

05:34Almost the runner ball

05:3768 from 69

05:39Not a good delivery

05:52For more folks

05:53Just helped this time

05:54By Root

05:54Showed a couple of pull shots

05:56Where he's picked up the length

05:57And belted it square

05:58All he's done here

06:00Is just helped it round

06:01Because that man

06:02Is very square

06:03On the leg side

06:04Yeah

06:05The line of the ball

06:06Allows that

06:06It's a poor delivery

06:07It's down the leg side

06:08Mourke will be very disappointed

06:10With that

06:11Getting the strike

06:11Off the good ones

06:12And edging

06:14Mourne Mourkel

06:15This time

06:16Loose outside

06:18The off stump

06:19He's played so beautifully

06:20But what a key wicket

06:22That is for South Africa

06:23And for Mourkel

06:24And a very good catch

06:26To Kock

06:29Took the responsibility

06:31Of this

06:32Probably would have carried

06:33The first slip

06:34There's the edge

06:35I'll have that

06:38Takes it well

06:39Big wicket

06:40Mourkel

06:43Some reward

06:44For his bowling

06:45He's been good

06:46Close to the off stump

06:48A couple of times

06:48With Bairstow

06:49But he gets Root

06:49The big wicket

06:50Root has gone

06:51For 78
