England vs Australia, 3rd Test - Live Cricket Score, Commentary
Joe Root 19(45)
19.2
Cummins to Root, out Caught by Warner!! Edged and gone. What a start for Australia and Cummins. The nagging short of length delivery in the fourth-stump line, extra bounce and Root unusually guides it with an open face to 1st slip and Warner takes a good catch to his right. After taking it he gestures that it wobbled in the air. The best England batter goes and it's Australia who are making all the noise first up. Root c Warner b Cummins 19(45) [4s-2]
