England vs Australia Live Score, 3rd Ashes Test, Day 3

N Lyon to Joe Root, Inside edge saves Root there! He jumps down the track to play a big shot across the line but misses. Luckily for him, it takes the inner half of his bat, strikes him on the pads and then goes behind. Paine reacts a bit late and it gets deflected off his pads as well to his right. All that allows Root time to return inside the crease. Scary moment.
