00:00Root and Cooke, both very fine players. Look at the average of Joe Root.

00:05He has seen an incredible innings in the last two days.

00:09I think they've lost a review.

00:12Open the face, played down, gone for four.

00:17There's a big gap between second slip and gully, and the field of a deep third man is.

00:27That's nice.

00:30And that'll make it come sooner.

00:36Jadeja Ashwin very quickly into the attack now, if Bhuvaneshwar doesn't strike in this over.

00:45Driven beautifully.

00:47You're right, I'm amazed it's taken six, maybe seven overs with four spin.

00:52I had visions of, it was a matter of who opened.

00:55Yeah, he must have thought about it, musting Ashwin against the two left-handers, but...

00:59Of course, Bhuvaneshwar Kumar gave him the breakthrough straight away.

01:07It's handy if you new ball bowlers can just give you a...

01:09Yes!

01:13Play.

01:15Cut!

01:16That's a great shot.

01:18Down the wicket, used his feet.

01:21Punched it through extra cover.

01:22It's a very brave shot.

01:25Just the second ball that Jadeja has bowled, you're not quite sure what's happening off the surface.

01:31He wasn't really to the pitch either.

01:33If this had spun, he was in grave danger.

01:38He can see the way his mind is working, he doesn't want the spinner to settle.

01:45Well that one turned, and bounced.

01:47Yeah!

01:51Beautifully bowled.

01:54It's out of your mind, it's easier said than done, but there is nothing you can do about that.

01:58If it touches the glove, well so be it.

02:00Put it out of your mind.

02:01Get out of your mind.

02:07It was in the air that Toulsenfielders will always be kept interested.

02:11Off stump, off stump, and then one outside.

02:15I think there's an inside edge there.

02:22Lovely from Root.

02:23Good use of the feet, gets to it on the full.

02:31It's very quick to come down the track on that occasion.

02:38Meet the ball on the full.

02:39And that should be the endeavour.

02:40Every time you come down the track.

02:43Try and get as close to the pitch of the ball, or try and meet it on the full.

02:54Then the sweep again.

02:56Taking on the left arm spinner.

02:58It's been his attitude right through the innings.

03:02Moves on to 47.

03:03Joe Root.

03:05One thing with Joe Root.

03:06He always maintains a good tempo.

03:11This refuses to be bogged down.

03:14He'll take the calculator.

03:15Catching a man out in the deep with a big shot.

03:19But no one on the reverse.

03:22What a way to go to 50.

03:24Wonderful innings from Joe Root.

03:26We saw a mammoth innings from Virat Kohli.

03:30Root has played well.

03:31He's got 50.

03:33Still a lot of work to do.

03:35And really good approach.

03:37Aside from the outset, he was prepared to take the attack to the Indian bowlers.

03:40It's actually good cricket from Joe Root.

03:52The fielder was removed from that area.

03:54To cover.

03:56The reverse sweep.

03:57He found that gap.

04:00He's just toying with the field at the moment, Joe Root.

04:04Sweep being hit.

04:06Look at that.

04:08There's a danger.

04:09That really is impossible to play.

04:12Impossible to play.

04:13Good luck playing that.

04:16And that's why Root is trying to be as aggressive as he can be.

04:30Because he knows that occasionally he's going to get the unplayable ball.

04:34So he's got to try and keep the bowler thinking, keep him guessing.

04:38And trying to keep the scoreboard moving.

04:41And that's a good shot because there's no deep mid-wicket.

04:44There's a man's squarer.

04:45So although he was hitting against the turn.

04:50So let's appeal for everything.

04:53If he can, if he gives a decision in our favour, great.

04:55If he doesn't, so what?

05:01One thousand runs for Joe Root against India with that shot.

05:07And all the focus is on Kohli earlier in the day.

05:10But this is a fine innings from Root.

05:15Much more difficult circumstances against better spinners.

05:20With his team right under the cosh.

05:28It's beaten the keeper.

05:30Just going to say that the leg slip is an important position for Giant Yadav.

05:36Well, look at that coming into these test matchup.

05:39Those were the top four, the fab four.

05:41With the fours, Amlok de Villiers, David Warner.

05:50Ball will go for four.

05:51And make sure you have men round the bat when it does explode.

05:54The domestic level.

05:55I think now, Gibbon.

05:56And he's walking off as well.

05:57That little break for a drink has delivered the wicket.

05:58And it's the key wicket, a brute.

05:59With that man James Yadav attempted to review this.

06:00Height.

06:01Given out on the field.

06:02So maybe Root fell even if it was er...

06:05A concern it would have been umpires called at best.

06:06But he's played quite brilliantly.

06:07He's gone for seven.

06:08And he's been walking off as well.

06:09And he's been walking off as well.

06:10That little break for a drink has delivered the wicket.

06:11And it's the key wicket of Root.

06:13And that man James Yadav attempted to review this.

06:16Height.

06:24Given out on the field.

06:25So maybe Root fell even if it was er...

06:28A concern it would have been umpires called at best.

06:32But he's played quite brilliantly.

06:34He's gone for 7,741 for four.
