Huge blunder! Umpire calls over after 5 balls, then forces Joe Root to bowl again

England National Cricket Team batter Joe Root has been performing the role of an all-rounder in the ongoing game against the Afghanistan National Cricket Team. The 8th match of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is taking place at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.

Joe Root has been decent with the ball for the England National Cricket Team in the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The premier batter has filled the role of second spinner perfectly in the tournament and is doing the same in the ongoing game as well.

Joe Root has bowed tight lines and lengths, but during his spell, he was at the receiving end of the blunder made by the umpire. During the 29th over of the innings, the official called the over after just 5 balls.

However, the umpire immediately became aware as he called Joe Root again to complete the over.
