Joe Root 26(56)
44.2
Jadeja to Root, out Lbw!! Not a single wicket to a spinner in the last domestic game at this venue and all five so far have fallen to the spinners. The Yorkshire pair are back in the dugout in the space of 5 balls. The cunning slider from Jadeja that stays a touch low on middle, Root wanted to block off the front foot but got beaten on the inside edge. Huge appeal and given. Root perhaps knew that he was a goner and reviewed more in hope than anything. Root lbw b Jadeja 26(56) [4s-4]
