00:00This is so important for the England side that this guy on screen just plays his way.
00:09He's the one player that can read the situation and be the glue for the team.
00:16Incredible numbers, an average of over 50.
00:22It's away, Ayrton faves the slip cordon and goes for four.
00:41Right.
00:51Right.
00:55Doing that early.
01:09Guides it away
01:17Oh, goes for the Yorker
01:25Speck from Scotty Boland
01:26I'm not sure if he just overpitched it
01:29But it's a pretty good one
01:31Timing
01:34That nip back again
01:38Nice straight back
01:42Lovely balance, lovely timing
01:44Shorter boundaries
01:46Straight down the ground
01:48From 23 without you really noticing
01:51That wasn't a half folly
01:53Just a small step, watched it well
01:55No!
02:00Ruud gets a bit of wit
02:02No!
02:06Slides
02:07Flows into a glorious cover drive
02:12Work to be done
02:12Ruud
02:13Traps him
02:15Nice work by Joe Ruud
02:29Ruud advances
02:31Does nice
02:32What they're trying to do to Boland
02:34We're short in Perth to get him off his length
02:35A couple of strides from Ruud
02:36Beautifully timed down the ground
02:39Short boundaries
02:39That's what you do not want when it's
02:42Human conditions out there
02:44Big chase down the wicket
02:46So if you're Scott Boland
02:49Does it again
02:51Stuck in and playing some cricket
02:55That's wide
02:56There's him sparring outside of stump
03:00Yes!
03:02Yes!
03:03Now some
03:03Man's gone back
03:06No!
03:10Yes!
03:12Go!
03:13Yes!
03:15Go!
03:16Yes!
03:17Go!
03:18Yes!
03:18Yes!
03:19Yes!
03:20Yes!
03:21Yes!
03:21Oh, wow!
03:22Oh, wow!
03:23I'm not sure.
03:50Oh, nice.
04:09Oh, Nilly.
04:10That was it.
04:12It was high up.
04:13It was more leg side.
04:14No real control from Joe Rooten.
04:16Just for a moment, Alex Carey thought he was in the game.
04:19Great.
04:23Yeah.
04:26Yes!
04:28Yeah!
04:29Oh!
04:31Go, go!
04:35Oh, look at it!
04:49Might have been close, going down the leg side. He liked it, Michael Mesa.
04:55It was a good non-review for Steve Smith.
05:06Get it, get it, get it.
05:07Wicked that beautifully. Great timing pass, Mitchell Stark.
05:12Joe Root looking very, very ominous here, Mr. 48.
05:16See his flow.
05:19This is a glorious shot, taken outside of the off stump.
05:22He's using that right hand to work it through the onside where the space is.
05:26Get it, get it, get it.
05:29Ooh, a bit of a top edge.
05:32Great.
05:34Right there. And it gets through.
05:37And that brings up the 50 for Joe Root.
05:40Yeah, don't they like it? The Barmy Army.
05:43It's the tenth time he's done that in Australia.
05:45Yet to get a hundred against Australia in Australia.
05:49Yeah, he's so important for England.
05:51The best player scores a huge amount of rooms down in Australia.
05:56He's got a good record at the...
06:04Flipped away nicely down.
06:06And that's it.
06:14Wait!
06:16Now a single.
06:17Like that.
06:22He's done that, fine.
06:25That's nice.
06:26That's nice down the ground.
06:29We've seen a lot of that today
06:30and that will pick up a bit of pace
06:33and get into the rope for a boundary for Joe Root.
06:42Classic.
06:54Oh, for the full delivery.
06:55...bursts, I think.
07:01Yeah, look, I think.
07:04Oh, watchful from Root.
07:09It'll just start doing a little...
07:10Oh, he's got water.
07:28Pitching outside off.
07:29Impact in line.
07:30I think it gets missing.
07:33In the air.
07:44It's a Root.
07:46That's a wild...
07:56...on a ball of the over.
07:57Yeah.
07:58It's a wild...
08:05Yes.
08:05Yes.
08:05Yes.
08:05Yes.
08:06Yes.
08:07Yes.
08:07Yes.
08:08Yes.
08:09Right.
08:09Yes.
08:10Yes.
08:11Yes.
08:11On the offside now, Routon moves across.
08:29Can he do?
08:34Get it, get it, get it.
08:40Get it, get it.
08:47Oh, yeah.
08:49Oh, yeah.
08:52Oh, yeah.
08:56Oh, yeah.
09:00Yeah, the gots here.
09:04Call of two.
09:09Oh, it's close.
09:12Pitching, I'll turn it off.
09:13In fact, I'll turn it off.
09:18Beautiful, driven down the ground.
09:31He's such an elegant player, Joe Root, timed it to perfection.
09:34Moves to 77.
09:35The caller Root goes around the Gabba.
09:38The English fans love it.
09:39It really has trusted his technique today.
09:43Full face in the back there.
09:49The game turns again.
09:55Drives elegantly.
09:56While.
09:57Wait, wait, wait.
10:02Just a bit of shape back there.
10:05Joe Root.
10:09Rides it and plays it nicely, does Root.
10:13Just gets the scoreboard ticked away again.
10:15And Joe Root is into the 80s.
10:17Needs support.
10:22It beats Root.
10:27A lot rests on this man.
10:32Yeah.
10:33Yeah.
10:34Yeah.
10:35Continues.
10:36Oh.
10:37Just cramped up.
10:39Nice feet.
10:49Much.
10:52Temptor.
10:57Wait.
11:02Wait, wait, wait.
11:07Yeah.
11:08You're going to push hard.
11:10The ball scurries to the boundaries.
11:12So Joe Root goes into the 90s for the first time on Australian soil.
11:21Makes it again.
11:22The chase on.
11:23May well be back to back boundaries.
11:25It is indeed, Joe Root.
11:29So much support.
11:30So many English men and women willing him on.
11:35Oh.
11:36Oh.
11:37Oh.
11:38Oh.
11:39Oh.
11:40Oh.
11:41Oh.
11:42Chases it.
11:45Oh.
11:46Oh.
11:47Oh.
11:48Oh.
11:49Oh.
11:50Oh.
11:52It's a first test century on Australian soil for Joe Root, a century that's been 12 years
12:16in the making. Release for Joe. And Innings has had not only his team, but his entire nation
12:23riding on it. His 40th in Test Match cricket, and who knows, maybe the one that he will savor
12:30the most. Yeah, and the England team, support staff, the fans are all on the feet, but so
12:36are the Australians. But we're not one Australian that won't be celebrating Joe Root's three
12:44figures. He's a special man, a special player.
12:59And continues on his merry way with a touch of class, Joe Root. Another boundary. The pull
13:06shots to match, and it's been a masterclass from Matt. An incredible player. A technical
13:13masterclass.
13:15So like Joe Root, just that angelic smile to celebrate.
13:26Four. In the gap. He's rode that well. One of his trademark shots. It's not easy to see
13:43out in the fence there, but that's...
13:45Ooy, the reverse.
13:50Oh, big Joe. There you go.
13:58Well, it's a big over. Nineteen runs from it.
14:03Mid wicket. He lines it up. Down the ground. Four more. Three hundreds up for England, and
14:19they are making hay.
14:21Ten. He's been seeing the ball well here today. Over five hours of batting. Before
14:28that they will. Root, clear the ropes. Can Joe Root clear the ropes? By word he can! On
14:37the reverse! Joe Root moves to 128, the skipper loves it. Shortest part of the ground. But guess
14:46what? You only need a bit of bat on it. It's been a trademark shot of his last few years. Watch
14:53this. Head nice and still. Doesn't quite get it, but it still goes for six.
14:57It's like David Warner batting, then.
14:59Fifty partnership up. This is England's best tenth wicket stand at the Gabba.
15:05And it's to Root who advances.
15:09This wicket's to fall.
15:11Forty Stark six and Bolan one. Put him that to Root.
15:26And the Balmy army will be well and truly behind their hero. The world's number one test
15:30batsman Joe Root.
15:32How does it play for New England?
15:34We know...
15:35We know...
15:42We know if what we need to know...
15:44But now...
15:45Well...
15:46The concentration camp is here.
15:47Soon.
15:48We watch theあぁ of the blame.
15:49So long.
15:50I shall laugh at this point.
15:52We need estos cheats.
15:53We've got to battle your wieder.
15:54We've got to battle your hurt.
15:55We've got to battle your wet back as well.
15:57We've got to battle your cases.
15:58Feel a bit late now.
15:59So one hero departs, with 135, Mitchell Stark will follow him off.
16:11Celebrate the 10th wicket, the gather celebrates the champion, well played Joe Root.
