The world's No.1 Test batter is off the mark! Bowls it full and on middle, Root sweeps it to fine leg for a single.
Joe Root is the next batter in.
OUT! LBW! Pope reviews it! Missed a straight line here. There wasn't much spin on this one. Tosses it up full and around off, Pope gets on his knee to sweep but misses and gets hit on the pads. The ball stays slightly low on this occasion. An appeal and up goes the finger. Pope reviews but in vain as Ball Tracking shows THREE REDS. Pope will be disappointed as he usually likes to sweep but misses this time.

Ollie Pope has been adjudged LBW onfield but he has opted for the review. That looked a bit adjacent but the third umpire is called into action. Nothing on UltraEdge and three reds on Ball Tracking which means Pope has to walk back. OUT comes up on the big screen.
