WRoot c Bancroft b Pat Cummins
Pat Cummins to Root, out Caught by Bancroft!! This is disaster for England. Their captain is out for a single digit score. He is distraught, doesn't want to leave, drags himself off. This is a juicy full ball to drive through cover was what Root thought, but it just left him late and took a thick edge. He went really hard at it and the edge went straight to third slip. Joy for Cummins and Australia as the players celebrate this massive wicket. On the replay, Root had a real go at it. Root c Bancroft b Pat Cummins 9(10) [4s-1]
