Cummins to Root, out Caught by Carey!! Edged and gone. This time it has carried to Carey. Cummins does it again. On a length outside off, Root is half-forward as he looks to defend, the thick outside-edge carries to Carey who dives forward to take it. That uncertain prod from Root and that has caused his downfall. Root walks off looking at the big screen. That slight shuffle across made Root play at that. The seam came out wobbled and that's a perfect line and length. England in all sorts after that wicket as Root is the one who has the potential to bat big. Root c Carey b Cummins 19(31) [4s-3]
