Root to Devon Conway, out Caught by (sub)Fisher!! One brings two. Both openers back in the pavilion in consecutive overs. The two most senior players for England have stepped up. Stokes providing the first breakthrough and Root backing it up by sending Conway on his way. This was a needless shot. But that's how Conway has been playing in this session. He's been taking his chances and this one does not come off. Drifting in from round the wicket, Conway comes down the track and looks to go down the ground, gets more off the inner half and the ball balloons towards deep mid-on. Fisher moves to his left, bends down and takes a good catch. Another fine knock comes to an end and like his captain, Conway walks off to a standing ovation.
