00:00Routes away, his trademark shot which is the back foot punch, he gets two.
00:14Nice to play, good running as well.
00:21Down the pitch there, flicked away beautifully.
00:25Beautifully flicked away, he's almost undercharged there Joe Rout.
00:30First boundary of the innings and you can see he's a little bit down the pitch as well.
00:45There you can see, Joe Rout is exactly the kind of batsman who would want to show the bowler who's the boss.
00:53Beautifully clipped away, high class player Joe Rout.
01:09Wonderful shot, it was a half folly alright but it still had to be put away and he's put away, put it away with a straight bat, allowed the ball to come into him and then played it with that little inward movement, beautiful.
01:27But look at the balance, he's played it from under his eyes.
01:32Accu with the bouncer.
01:34Good shot, that fielder is more towards third man and not towards point, K. Rahul the man.
01:41Four stylish runs there from Joe Rout.
01:44Yeah it's a good shot.
01:47Yeah it's a good shot.
01:52On the up, backing himself beautifully in control, good balance.
01:58But it's not a bad delivery.
01:59He'll be thinking as a bowler, okay.
02:03Tick that on the up, outside off stump.
02:10And the same will happen with Rout.
02:13If you bowl middle, middle and leg he'll deep mid wicket and long on.
02:17That surprised me actually, back in.
02:22Good placement.
02:23He will be looking to block one end up.
02:34They know there's an opportunity of hitting over the top.
02:37Look how close he gets there.
02:40Head on top of it as he works it away on the onside.
02:44So the endeavour is there.
02:46Meet the ball on the full much like this man.
02:49That's why they play a lot of shots along the ground.
02:51When they're stepping out.
02:54That's what you've got to watch out for with Jadeja.
02:57The skidder, the one that keeps low.
02:59That is still the danger ball.
03:01Because one turn before T.
03:04Root plays for the turn.
03:06And it beats, actually goes under the bat.
03:09That's how skiddy it was.
03:11He's trying to play Jadeja off the back foot.
03:14Because this pitch allows you a bit of time.
03:16You'll get slow turn on occasion.
03:18Way down the pitch.
03:21Maybe leg by these.
03:23Murali Vijay is after it.
03:24He's gone all the way.
03:26No, it's bad.
03:28Tickish outside edge.
03:29He's looking to work it on the onside.
03:30Gets a leading edge.
03:32It was cooked.
03:33Everyone will be having a go at his captaincy.
03:35Indian captain with 455 on the board.
03:38Especially when he...
03:42Ashwin continues.
03:45Root is the man on strike.
03:51Similar position this time.
03:53He says no.
03:55And a very loud no.
03:57Even without thinking to.
04:01Again, no gully.
04:03You got yourself to blame.
04:05No point putting your hands up in the air.
04:07If you were Jadeja.
04:09I find it remarkable.
04:10He can shake his head as much as he wants.
04:16Comes in, finally.
04:19Ooh, almost hit that off stump.
04:23Well, that should have been a dead ball.
04:25There was a person ran right behind the bowler's arm.
04:27And Joe Root was in two minds whether to pull away.
04:30There's someone hiding back there.
04:32Who nearly got Joe Root out.
04:34And he should have pulled away.
04:36But...
04:37He was in two minds.
04:39He wants a dead ball now.
04:45He got out to that.
04:48It's just like every now and then.
04:50When an old MCC member gets up.
04:52Just in front of the Lord's side screen with a pint.
04:58This will race away.
05:01Namesh Yadav can't get it.
05:05Bowls quickly Jadeja at pace.
05:08So...
05:09You get an inside edge or an outside edge.
05:12Every chance of the ball reaching the boundary.
05:15Now see, we often talk about batsmen losing concentration.
