Skipper, Harry Brook walks in at number 4.

Has that been taken? There seems to be a certain edge but whether Ryan Rickelton had that right glove underneath the ball remains to be seen. The third umpire is called into action. First replays suggest that it is a clean catch but the third umpire is making sure that when the ball popped out, it didn't hit the ground. It seems to be close but the third umpire confirms that the ball didn't touch the ground. OUT comes up on the big screen.

Lungi Ngidi to Joe Root, OUT! GONEEE! Oh, Ryan Rickelton has jumped at the ball as if someone had thrown a box full of chocolates. Beautiful set of play all over! Lungi Ngidi nicely pushes it full and around off, swinging away. Root is drawn in to push but gets a thick outside edge. Ryan Rickelton, the keeper, dives to his right, picks one-handedly and holds onto it but spills out just as he meets the ground but gets both hands on it in the second attempt and grabs it. 

Lungi Ngidi to Joe Root, BEATEN! Root and Smith are struggling with this length. Fractionally short and well wide of off. Root frees his arms to push it but misses.
