Mitchell Starc with the pink ball, Joe Root on 68. What more could you want?<\/p>\n<p>First ball: Three slips, full and on fifth stump to Root. He bunts it down the ground to a deep mid-off and takes the single. Allan Border wants to know why the man is back, only explanation is to give Root a single and bring Ben Stokes on strike. Border is not impressed &#8211; \u201cyou need to attack both players\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Second ball: Full and swinging away slightly from the left-hander, Stokes hits it crisply but straight to cover.<\/p>\n<p>Third ball: Full again, a little wider. Stokes hits a little squarer. Straight to point.<\/p>\n<p>Fourth ball: Onto Stokes\u2019s pads and clipped to square leg. No run.<\/p>\n<p>Fifth ball: Full and on target. Great ball. Threatening to shape and Stokes does well to keep it out. Starc again takes the ball to the umpire asking for a change. Again, the Australians are rebuffed.<\/p>\n<p>Sixth ball: Back of a length on off and Stokes is defending. Slightly awkward but no real trouble.<\/p>\n<p>Michael Neser continues from the other end.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Josh Inglis dives to stop a single.\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/52d4b140e3fdaadebf1cf134d5c08792dbe16f3f.jpeg\" height=\"390\" width=\"584\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Josh Inglis dives to stop a single.Credit: Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>England 4-197 Root 69*, Stokes 14* leads by 197 runs<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"And we\u2019re back, well and truly under light now.
