00:00Play, play nicely. Soft hands from Root. He has his first boundary.
00:13It's going to be four. It's going to be Legby's two. Just slightly off line, that's all it takes.
00:25A few less now. Beautifully played.
00:30He just did it on the straight side there. Pat Cummins, you can see that he's pushing really hard.
00:39This foot is just too straight. Class players like Joe Root don't miss out on too many of those.
00:43He waited. He's trying to get the timing right. Worked it.
00:49Goal!
00:51Tickle fine, and that will have all momentum it needs.
01:00Been straying in line this time, and too easy for Joe Root. Just picks it off.
01:11Not particularly good line in length at the moment. He's strained both sides of the wicket.
01:15This is a problem with rotation, I have to say.
01:17Rotate bowlers, they come in, lacking wiggle. Lacking a bit of form, confidence.
01:27Give him a roll.
01:28Good ball runs again.
01:45100 comes up for England.
01:47That's the line.
01:57He's got lucky on that occasion, Joe Root.
02:00It'll go for four.
02:02Bad shot. Root knows it. He's crossed with himself.
02:06It's a poor shot against an off spinner, trying to play a little late dab.
02:09Not when it's spinning.
02:12Inside air jump to stumps.
02:13That's a really, really dangerous shot.
02:18That's how close it is, guys!
02:23I don't know.
02:29Got to pull this time.
02:30Pretty quickly outfield here at Old Trafford.
02:52Face to the bat.
02:55Sparing dive.
02:56Laundrie will be impressed.
03:00Well, that pleases the crow.
03:07And so it's sure that's a beautiful shot from Joe Root.
03:10Probably the shot of the day for mine.
03:12Attempted bouncer from Hazelwood.
03:14It just didn't get up.
03:15Sat at about chest height.
03:18Right in the middle of the bat.
03:19Swivels on it nicely.
03:20Hits it just in front of square.
03:21And that rocketed across the outfield.
03:24It's really good patient batting.
03:26Sitting back and waiting for a scoring opportunity.
03:28And there it was.
03:30Oh!
03:39Root goes on to 50.
03:45Enjoys batting here.
03:47He's got a very good record on this ground.
03:49He came into this innings averaging over 100.
03:52He's got a big double hundred here against Pakistan a few years ago.
03:59He enjoys the conditions.
04:02I enjoy watching him bat here.
04:04Thickish outside edge.
04:15Nip and tuck.
04:16Ball wins.
04:16Oh, he's in the gap, boy.
04:43Oh, after you, Claude.
04:49Huge frustration for Cummins.
04:51Mentioned the ball before.
04:53There was a hint of movement.
04:54He passed Root's outside edge in the previous over.
04:57It's just a bit there.
04:58Just enough to find the edge.
05:00I think that is the keeper's catch.
05:04We've seen Warner take a couple to his left in this series.
05:09But that has to be the wicket keeper's catch.
05:12Well, it went quickly.
05:33It's an excellent delivery.
05:34It's a good spell of bowling, is this, from Cummins.
05:42Well, it is.
05:44Think of what's happened just in the last ten balls or so.
05:48That edge that's gone through between...
05:50Well, there's only bats on it.
05:54Otherwise, it's dead.
05:55It's gone.
05:57No hesitation for Kumar Dharmasina.
06:02Joe Root has a quick look at Jason Roy, but he knows.
06:10Captain gone for 71.
06:12175 for four.
