A closer look at Joe Root

A small red ball is visible rolling or skimming low across the outfield with the boundary rope and crowd-side advertising boards in the background.

The batter is crouched with the bat close to the body as the red ball arrives low in front of the crease, while the wicketkeeper is set behind the stumps.

The batter finishes with the bat raised and body turned slightly side-on, standing near the stumps after the shot has been played.
