Foulkes to Root, out Lbw!! That looks dead with Root trapped right in front of off. Yep, he doesn't bother going for the review. An inswinger that also nips back sharply off the seam, around a good length or slightly fuller, he's caught in the crease and gets smashed on the back leg. Absolutely plumb. Should've been forward to it, would've got him outside the line of off at the very least. Root lbw b Foulkes 2(3)

Foulkes to Root, 2 runs, Root advances as he looks to put the bowler off. Knows he can't just be stuck on the crease, will eventually get a ball with his name on it. Back of a length, nips in sharply and he somehow gets it fine past leg gully

Foulkes to Root, no run, half an appeal for caught behind but this is clearly off pad. Another one that comes in sharply off the seam, Root is caught on the crease in defence, gets beaten on the inside edge and it flicks the pad on the way to the keeper
