Joe Root’s fine innings comes to an end as he is dismissed for 176

Joe Root‘s fine innings came to an end on 176 as England look to open up a lead in the second Test against New Zealand at Trent Bridge.

Root was visibly frustrated as he departed having driven a Trent Boult slower ball straight into the hands of Tim Southee in the morning session on day four.

The 31-year-old, who is in the form of his life and recently passed the milestone of 10,000 Test runs, only added 13 to his overnight tally.

Having resumed on 163 not out, Root made an ominous start to the fourth day as he played an outrageous scoop shot off Southee that sailed over the boundary for six.

He was out shortly after, however, with England still 37 adrift of New Zealand’s first innings total of 553.

Ben Foakes moved to his half century in style as runs flowed in the morning session, with England seeking to surpass New Zealand to take a first innings lead.

England then lost the wicket of Stuart Broad thanks to a stunning catch from Daryl Mitchell before Foakes was run out for 56.
