Yorkshire and England man snicks Jake Ball to slip
Monday 2 May 2016 19:46, UK
He's the No 2 ranked batsman in Test cricket - but he lasted just one ball for Yorkshire against Nottinghamshire in the Specsavers County Championship!
Joe Root strode to the Trent Bridge wicket looking to get into the groove ahead of England's Test series against Sri Lanka, which starts at Headingley on Thursday, May 19, live on Sky Sports 2 HD.
However, the 25-year-old was immediately on his way back to pavilion after snicking Notts seamer Jake Ball into the hands of Riki Wessels at first slip.
Root's scalp came amid an excellent morning for Ball, with the paceman also bowling Adam Lyth (0) first ball and having Gary Ballance (7) caught behind by Chris Read.
Could the right-armer, the nephew of former England wicketkeeper Bruce French, be an outside bet for a first Test call-up?
Watch Ball grab Root's wicket in the video above and then catch continued coverage of Nottinghamshire's clash with Yorkshire live on Sky Sports 2.
