Codi Yusuf to Root, no ball, 2 runs, a direct hit at the bowler's end and Root would've been short, but he gets an extra run as the back-up fielder fails to stop it cleanly - Maphaka with the shy at the bowler's end, was a writy flick to mid-wicket and Root set-off for a non-existent single, it's a no-ball as well and Root will get a free-hit on 98*

Maharaj to Brook, out Brook Run Out!! 1 run completed. Has Brook been run-out? There was no second run, but he was looking to scamper an extra run, he doesn't look all that confident. An accurate throw from the deep and he's indeed short when Rickelton broke the wicket - Brook is OUT. That's a waste of another wicket, England finding ways to get themselves dismissed - was a loopy full-toss down leg, Brook somehow reached onto the sweep and toe-ended it over square leg, took the first run casually and then decides that there was a second run out there, Yusuf with a strong throw and Brook was always struggling, caught short by a yard or so. Brook run out (Codi Yusuf/Rickelton) 3(2)
