00:00He brought up his 29th test 100 in the first innings look at that record the average of touch over 50
00:13Pushed away
00:20Stumble no no no
00:23The old fake stumble yeah come back to the third we'll run you out
00:30Oh the edge goes directly through the gap
00:36Good length from Wagner that's where he's got to stay with that line that length
00:47Excellent piece of bowling from Wagner takes a good piece of bowling to draw Joe Root into a false shot and he's
00:56They're going to attack him without a doubt
01:00That's a good shot from Root
01:03All the way for six
01:06A little statement
01:10Statement of intent rather early from Joe Root good use of the feet got in line with the ball and just swung through it
01:16Good swing of the bat nice piece of timing well over the boundary and that sends a message to the off spinner
01:23Sweeping again sweep hard as well
01:38It's all on here
01:40Just two good cricket shots first for six and now the hard sweep for four
01:46There is some turn there but there's a dilemma now for New Zealand and Tim Southie
01:51It's the England hundred comes up perfectly played
01:57Expensive over what are New Zealand going to do
02:02Oh now he dropped short and he'll get picked away for four more
02:05This is a momentum changer and a head-scratcher
02:16Joe Root has put some serious pressure back on Michael Bracell this over's gone for 16 already that was a long hop that deserved what it got
02:23Too wide lovely shot Joe roots and he'll pick up four more
02:38It's a miss support delivery from Neil Wagner too much width
02:44Way too much work. It's a free hit for Joe root
02:48It's not going to miss out on there and despite the best efforts of Cougar line racism
02:54That's the length and it doesn't carry
03:00It's all encouragement
03:02It's two they haven't carried
03:05It slipped cordon has to come up
03:07Maybe this wouldn't have carried anyway because it was played with nice soft hands from root
03:11You just let it

03:47And Joe Root passes 50 once more in Test Match Cricket, the runs keep coming.
04:17Keep coming with ease if you're Joe Root. Short and wide and able to put that away. Hand up.
04:29Root again and he's hit that beautifully again. This time it was thrown up. Root took the bait and was too good.
04:46He's halfway posted back mid on but he's hitting with the breeze Joe Root and it's the great footwork that gets him to the pitch of the ball.
04:56And then just eases it over that deepish mid on. Takes it all the way.
05:04What do you think of your brace will? Every time you throw it up Root's up to you. He's got the courage to do it again. He does.
05:12Oh and Root a little dabble. It was in the air for some time but it would have been a great catch. Four more.
05:18It's just dictating terms now Joe Root toying with Michael Bracewell. A half chance. A quarter chance there but showing his quality.
05:36And they give a quick single and it has to be quick and Joe Root's asking a lot of his captain.
05:46Yeah not ideal when you've got a sore knee and you're struggling to run.
05:54Oh is it. Through the vacant cordon. Through the edge. They've toyed around with Slip and Gully in that position.
06:04And not for the first time the ball has gone straight through the gap.
06:12You can chase all you like. You can chase all you like and it won't matter.
06:22This is massive from Joe Root.
06:24He's gone ten rows back. Great use of the feet. Out of the sweet spot.
06:28Great swing of the bat. And he knew straight away. The only man getting close to catching that was the bloke that was sitting in 24e.
06:42Now that one just finds a way through.
06:47Just the one from the over. 200.
06:50The 200 comes up for England. Five down. 56 overs.
06:55Well, Joe Root pulls out of the shot in the end.
07:11This must be horrible for Tom Blunt.
07:16That's an amazing stop.
07:17Joe Root has lobbed that in the air. It's taken at mid-wicket.
07:27This is Neil Wagner's day.
07:29He is back on the scene with a bang.
07:33And there was an element of premeditation here from Joe Root.
07:37He'd seen the field set largely on that onside. He thought there was a way over.
07:43But he has clothed it. And it's cost him his wicket.
07:47Joe Root sitting up outside. Leg stump almost like he was going to play the ball through the offside.
07:53And in the end, Wagner skidding the ball on.
07:56Perhaps doing him for a little bit of pace.
07:58And what a breakthrough.
08:00Neil Wagner reliving the glory days.
08:03Huge wicket for New Zealand. England lose their seventh.
08:06And the bowlers have to do the job. England 2.02 for seven. Root and a magnificent 95.
