Foulkes to Root, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! They're ripping through England's top-order- it's another inswinger from Foulkes, jags back in sharply and Root is guilty of trying to play an expansive on-drive, doesn't cover for the movement, the head falls across and he ends up playing right across the front-pad, the ball sneaks through the gap and crashes into the stumps - England are 5 for 3 and in a heap of trouble. Root b Foulkes 2(6)

Foulkes to Root, no run, the bouncer from Foulkes - Root half-ducks and sways away from the line
1.2
Foulkes to Root, 1 run, short of a good length and just outside off - Root plays close to the body and dabs it down to third man

Matt Henry to Root, no run, Henry shortens the length and gets it to seam away from the right-hander, has Root feeling for that and beats him on the outside edge
0.5
Matt Henry to Root, no run, fuller length delivery outside off - Root presses forward and drives it back at the bowler
0.2
Matt Henry to Root, 1 run, too straight from Henry, on the pads and it's flicked down to long leg - Root turns back for the second and slips, just a single then
