There is no umpires call for pitching outside leg, had that pitched half an inch to the left it would've been out.

Or even a single centimetre.

1 centimetre basically is half an inch.

Wonderful shot

1.25cm, huge difference.

Almost 100 runs since Haddin dropped Root.

He's still rapid but when the pitch is squidgy he just doesn't offer very much. No movement whatsoever, so reliant on bounce.

Re where it pitched...how much ball has to be in line...more than half...all of it...?

Saying that^, Ballance is still struggling against Johnson

The middle part of the ball has to land on the line of the stumps, so yes in effect half the ball has to be pitching in line.

As I thought...that looked like half to me

Ballance just needs to get off strike when Johnsons on. Root is playing him well until now. He will be out the attack soon enough
