Watch: Joe Root's "Ridiculous" Reverse-Scoop Off Neil Wagner Sets Twitter Ablaze

With every passing day, England's refreshed approach in Test cricket under Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum is leaving viewers more in awe with their exciting brand of cricket. While the likes of Stokes and Jonny Bairstow have thrilled fans with their aggressive batting, even Joe Root, who is considered a more traditional Test batter, is getting in on the act. During Day 4 of the ongoing third Test against New Zealand at Headingley in Leeds, with England chasing 296 to complete a series sweep, Root brought out an outrageous reverse-scoop off pacer Neil Wagner to leave Twitter astonished.

The left-handed Wagner, running in from over the wicket, bowled one full and across Root, and England's star batter was quick to change stance and scoop the ball over the third man boundary.

Sharing the video on Twitter, the England Cricket Board simply wrote: "Joe Root. You are ridiculous."
