[Watch] Seales Becomes Whispering Death! Joe Root Falls On 14 To A 'Deadly Bouncer'
Joe Root's wicket vs WI in the second Test (X.com)
Joe Root made little impact on Thursday (July 18) when England met the West Indies at Trent Bridge in the second Test of the three-match series. The former England captain could only muster 14 off 29 balls before he lost his wicket in a very uncharistic way.
It was the third ball of the 30th over of England’s innings when Joe Root seemed a bit nervous while playing West Indies speedster Jayden Seales. His short-of-a-length delivery made Root think twice before playing a shot, and in the process, he found a huge top edge.

Placed at mid-on, Alzarri Joseph ran back a little to complete a simple catch with a little juggle, as smiles were all around after the big wicket of Root.
Earlier, England set a world record by racing to fifty in just 4.2 overs. They, at the time of writing this, are well placed, reaching 196/3 in 38.3 overs.
Ollie Pope and Harry Brook are in the middle, batting on 75* and 32* respectively, as England are eyeing a big total yet again in an attempt to seal the series with a game to spare.
