Australian bowlers have to take 10 wickets to go 4-0 up in the series. While talking about day 4, English bowlers had to work extra hard to contain the Aussie batters.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>When fast bowling proved fruitless, captain Joe Root decided to bowl himself. In his spell, the English skipper bowled a short of&nbsp;length delivery, a video of which is getting viral on social media. Cricket Australia have shared this video on their official Twitter handle.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In this video, one can see twin-century scorer Usman Khawaja is on strike while Root, who is bowling the first ball of the over, bowls a short pitch delivery which receives an uneven bounce and goes as a bounce to Khawaja, who ducks to avoid getting hit on the head.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Joe Root off the long run! <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Ashes?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Ashes<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/K3Vpics1ZE\">pic.twitter.com\/K3Vpics1ZE<\/a><\/p>&mdash; cricket.com.au (@cricketcomau) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cricketcomau\/status\/1479667572370927616?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 8, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"  https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/australia-vs-england-ashes\">Ashes 2021-22 - England vs Australia Schedule and Squads<\/a><\/p><p>After this delivery, Usman Khawaja is seen jibing in a friendly manner with Joe Root, telling him that his quota of one bouncer in an over is done, while Root is seen smiling. Talking about the match, day 5 of this test promises to bring excitement and thrill as the two teams battle it out in a game where three results are possible right now.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
