Twitter reacts as Joe Root dropped thrice on his way to fourth fifty in Ashes 2019

50 for Joe Root but the score doesn't show the whole story. Dropped three times by Austraila. All 3 should have been taken.



England 148/3

Joe Root's bat has the word 'village' on the back. Is that why he's been dropped three times?

Warnie said earlier “Joe Root’s looked good here today”. He was on 32 and had been dropped 3 times. How much ale is he drinking on air I wonder.

Joe Root dropped on 24, 25 and 30.

First time that's happened to a Test captain since 1921.

I just made that up (but there will be a stat).
