#2 Joe Root and Dawid Malan stitch together a stand
Just when it looked like England's innings was going awry, Joe Root came as a saviour and salvaged the rut with the help of Dawid Malan, whose reputation keeps growing after every single game. The duo stitched together a century partnership that not only lifted England from a poor start but also gave them the momentum until Root succumbed to the new ball.
Root and Malan took their time to judge the conditions and was rather slow to start with, allowing a slew of maidens post the tea break. But once set, the duo gave the Aussies little to celebrate about. Root was, as usual, busy while Malan stuck through against the Aussies to give England a good platform. However, three balls after the new ball was taken, Root was undone by Mitchell Starc.
