He left Wood to face 5 balls a couple of overs earlier and he promptly got out. Magnificent innings, but the end to what was a reasonable day for England and a very good day for honest Joe just feels a bit unnecessary.
Exactly-he wasn't running. He went well forward and middled the ball defensively but shortleg made a brilliant pickup and threw down the wicket. Just extremely unfortunate.
