Rehan Ahmed to Root, no run, tossed up outside off, it's too full for the slog-sweep and it sneaks under Root's bat

Jordan to Root, leg byes, 1 run, full ball speared down leg, Root misses the flick as he's beaten for pace

Wiese to Root, 1 run, works this wide of mid-on

Wiese to Root, 1 run, the keeper is standing back for Wiese and Root steps out immediately. Has to reach out for this delivery though as it's very wide. Looks to cut and it goes off the toe-end to third man

Sanchit Sharma to Root, 1 run, short and wide, Root slaps it to point who misfields

Richard Gleeson to Root, no run, mistimes the drive

Richard Gleeson to Root, wide, the call for wide might be a touch harsh. Root steps across the stumps as this is slanted in. The ball goes past leg stump as he misses the flick, but it might've hit the pad in his original stance

Richard Gleeson to Root, no run, back of a length outside off, the width is there but Root finds out what many batters in the first innings had done as well. There's hardly any bounce to play the cut. It sneaks under him

Sanchit Sharma to Root, 1 run, flicked away through square leg

Sanchit Sharma to Root, 2 runs, steps down the pitch, looks to swing hard and drags it off the inside half through midwicket. No timing on it. Had to fetch this from well outside off while looking to hit through midwicket. And there was a bit of outswing as well as Sanchit pitched it up

Sanchit Sharma to Root, no run, pitched up around off, driven back down the pitch to Sanchit

Richard Gleeson to Root, byes, 1 run, poor from the keeper. It's a length ball wide of off, Root is beaten on the cut, there's some swing after it passes the stumps and the keeper fails to make a clean stop as he dives across

Richard Gleeson to Root, no run, back of a length just outside off, steered to backward point
