Joe Root 29(45)

32.6
W
Siraj to Root, out Lbw!! Big, big breakthrough. Siraj was on a celebrappeal as soon as that struck Joe Root's pads. On a length outside off, nips back in sharply and skiddy once again. Catches Root in his crease before he could get his bat down, and he is struck on the knee roll in front of middle. He reviews but ball tracking returns three reds - would have hit the top of leg. A lion-hearted bowling display from Mo Siraj reaping rewards now. Root lbw b Siraj 29(45) [4s-6]
