Watch: Root's Sensational Catch Off Own Bowling Leaves Everyone Stunned
Joe Root completed a sensational catch to dismiss Alex Carey but it was not enough to clinch the win for England as Australia clinched the first Ashes Test by two wickets in Edgbaston on Tuesday. Root was given an extended spell by skipper Ben Stokes and he repaid the trust by pulling off a stunner. Carey took a couple of steps forward and slammed the ball powerfully straight over the bowler's head. However, Root's reactions were on the point as he plucked the ball perfectly to complete a phenomenal effort. The dismissal felt like the game-changer for England but the partnership between Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon proved to be the deciding factor for Australia.
