Score80 - 3

Mitchell Starc to Joe Root, Well played! Fuller and on the pads, this is clipped through square leg for two. Smart bowling from Starc. By bringing in short leg, he planted the seed of a short ball in Joe Root's mind. But then, he went full. However, given the class of Root, he was up for it and played it well. He is still struggling to run between the wickets and that is something Australia will also notice.

Mitchell Starc to Joe Root, Angled into middle, Root looks to defend but it goes off the inner half on the leg side.

All we can do is feel for Joe Root. He is on the field with a lot of pain. The physio is out to have a look. The players are covering Joe Root as he sorts out his guard now.

Mitchell Starc to Joe Root, That has hurt! OUCH! Root is in serious pain! Length and on middle, this one comes back in. Root looks to defend but gets an inside edge and it hits him near the crouch area. Root was hit in the abdomen this morning and could not take the field for a while. And now, he has been hit in an area where no physio or doctor can do anything, apart from give a few comforting words.

Mitchell Starc to Ben Stokes, That was close! An error of judgement from Stokes! This is angled into the pads, he thought it would slip down leg and hence, lets it go. He gets hit on the pads. Probably too high.
