Root to Carey, out Caught by Stokes!! Talk of throwing your wicket away, this one will be right up there. Stokes and Root can't hide their smiles. Oh what a gift, what an absolute gift. Full and teasing outside off stump, Carey was lunging at everything and because this was well wide he got tempted into an aggressive shot. Tried to target the region over cover this time, sliced it low and finds short cover where Stokes takes his 100th Test catch. The golden arm of Root again! Carey c Stokes b Root 10(23) [4s-1 6s-1]

63.4
Root to Carey, leg byes, 1 run, Carey missed the paddle sweep and got hit on the pad. Impact seemed iffy. But England reviewed. Third ump Nitin Menon almost messed that one up. So it seemed like there was a deflection to the naked eye, there was a small spike as the ball crossed the bat. The ump tried to justify that as an edge. The home crowd expressed their displeasure seeing everything on the big screen. The ump then realised there is a gap between bat and pad when that spike came so he then said ok no bat involved. Ball-tracker said impact over 3 metres, so case closed. There is some confusion about impact there on DRS. England surprised that it was above 3m. Carey did have a big stride forward, but he wasn't advancing
