Srikar Bharat 41(81)
88.2
Root to Srikar Bharat, out Lbw!! Srikar Bharat has been given OUT LBW, but he's reviewed it straightaway. Did he get some bat as well? Or does he reckon this has pitched outside leg? Looks pretty adjacent, struck on the back-thigh as he shaped for the sweep, no bat and seems that the ball has straightened enough. Onto ball-tracking and it's umpire's call on hitting - clipping the off-stump and Bharat is OUT. Relief for England, they looked lacklustre, but Root has struck with the second new ball. Drifted away and spun back into the right-hander - Bharat was looking to sweep and is undone by the length, struck in front of off and was straightening enough to flick the outside of the off-stump. India lose Bharat, but they don't lose a review. Srikar Bharat lbw b Root 41(81) [4s-3]
