Australia vs England Cricket Highlights, Champions Trophy 2025: Inglis, Carey, Short shine as Australia hunt down 352

Harry Brook is the next man in.

Adam Zampa to Joe Root, OUT! LBW! A loud shout and the finger is raised! Root reviews it straight away. Has he got some bat on it or does he think it is sliding down leg? This is pushed through by Zampa, on middle and leg. Too full for the attempted sweep as the ball sneaks under the bat and hits Root on the front pad. The UltraEdge shows no bat involved. 'Waiting for Ball Tracking', says third umpire Kumar Dharmasena. Here it is. The Ball Tracking shows that the ball is clipping the leg stump and it is umpire's call. Root feels hard done by the decision and he walks off shaking his head. The on-field decision is upheld and Australia have a much-needed breakthrough. The 158-run stand is broken. Root goes for 68 (78) and England are now 201/3 in 31 overs.
