Root survived only seven balls before edging to Marnus Labuschagne in the slips off Mitchell Starc’s bowling. The right-handed batter was at the crease for just 10 minutes. He showed the tension of the first morning of an Ashes series. The visiting team managed to score only 172 runs in their first innings in Perth.
Root was clearly in pain after the incident and was seen limping as he got back on his feet. The unexpected potential injury to a key player like Root, right before the start of the day’s play, created significant anxiety for the England camp.
