England vs India, 3rd Test Day 2: 5 Talking Points

#4 Was Joe Root out?

Was this a clean catch? Decide for yourself!

It's a question that will be asked over-and-over again: Did KL Rahul cling on to the catch that sent Joe Root back?

After much deliberation, the decision was sent back to the third umpire and he clearly felt it was clean. Root went back to the pavilion, shaking his head vigorously even as India celebrated in the background.

The decision ensured that after Cook fell early, Root too could not get a big score and that decision arguably turned out to be a major turning point in England's first innings.
