Stokes to Guptill, out Caught by Root!! This is what Stokes provides. He might leak runs but gets you those crucial wickets. Not sure if Root was intended to stand at fourth/fifth slip, but he was there and he takes the catch. Stokes goes full and Guptill tries to drill the drive through cover, just a hint of deviation and the outside edge flies to Root. Important breakthrough as the partnership had started blossoming. Guptill c Root b Stokes 27(33) [4s-4]
