If the Aussies uproot Root and unbalance Ballance, then England have no chance.

oh boy ! : Cricket , a game of glorious uncertainties 


Current partnership  146 runs, 36.5 overs, RR: 3.96 (Ballance 43, Root 92)

You can't afford to give Joe Root a second chance dropped 2nd ball on "0"....great fightback by Root & Ballance !!

196 - 4

53.3
Hazlewood to Ballance, plumb! It's full, angled into the stumps, and Ballance plays all around it looking to flick around the corner.

no swing at all, it was just the angle, and it thudded into his pads and umpire Dharmasena was very quick to raise his finger !!

GS Ballance lbw b Hazlewood 61

Root needs to bat out day
