Root run-out sparks England collapse
Joe Root's run-out sparks an England collapse on day one of the first Test at Edgbaston.
A horrible run-out of Joe Root sparked an England collapse on day one of the first Test against India at Edgbaston.
Root was on 80 when he and Jonny Bairstow opted for a second run, only for Virat Kohli's direct hit to beat the dive of the England captain.
From there, England lost four wickets for 27 runs and eventually limped to 285-9.
Jonathan Agnew and Michael Vaughan reflect on a dramatic day in Birmingham.
