Nathan Smith to Joe Root
Hard length, around off, Joe pushes this gently towards point and takes a single.

Nathan Smith to Harry Brook
A loud appeal for LBW, but it is turned down. In the channel, around off, swinging back into the batter. Harry Brook looks to punch this down to covers but ekes out an inside edge onto his pads. Tom Latham opts for a DRS after some convincing from the bowler. The replay shows a clear inside edge, and the visitors lose a review.

Will O'Rourke to Joe Root
This is a textbook front foot defensive stroke from Joe Root. Good length around middle and off, Joe Root shifts his bodyweight onto his front foot, meets the ball with the middle of his bat right underneath his eyeline and keeps it out.

Will O'Rourke to Joe Root
OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Will O'Rourke gets the big fish. Right in the channel from O'Rourke, in the corridor of uncertainty. Joe Root doesn't move his feet much and just tries to run it down with a slightly open bat face. The height of Will helps him extract an extra bit of bounce, and there is a bit of nip away, enough to induce an outside edge of Root's bat. It is taken well around his chest by the keeper, Tom Blundell behind the stumps.

Will O'Rourke to Jamie Smith
This one dies in front of the keeper. Full and wide of off, Jamie shows no interest in poking at it. The ball drops in front of the keeper but Tom Blundell does well to gather it diving to his right.
