Australia vs England, 2nd Test - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Mitchell Starc to Root, out Caught by Carey!! That's a successful review by Australia and Root departs. This was pitched up by Mitchell Starc from round the wicket and Root went for a drive. The bat hits the floor, but at the same time he also gets an edge. Carey and Smith were confident and they sent it upstairs. UltraEdge confirms the edge and Root is a goner. First wicket of this innings for Starc. Just what he wanted to get back into rhythm. All the Australian players are pumped up as they have gotten the big fish. Quite evident in their celebrations..
