Joe Root has been run out! He was rightly sent back by Morgan and was comfortably short when van der Dussen at square leg hit the stumps at the non-striker’s end with a brilliant throw.
15th over: England 82-2 (Root 16, Morgan 11) A lovely stroke from Root, who walks across his stumps to clip Phehlukwayo through midwicket for three. His low dot-ball ratio makes him the perfect man for a pitch like this, which is why that World Cup final innings was so odd.
