What's the proper way to answer to a ball like that with leg slip? Pad it?

Sir Geoff on TMS saying how Root has earned a few overs bowling after his efforts with the bat with confidence sky high. Sir Geoff was correct, as always.

You look at Cook, standing at leg slip and say "Really? A leg slip? THAT is your big plan?" Then belt it out of the park.

Exactly five times, actually, though only once at Lord's which was the relevant question. Vinoo Mankad also did it once at HQ, so Root would be the third if he gets another three.

3rd Umps gone on the obvious noise. Snickos proved him correct but I dunno why they over ruled it. Maybe batsmen really are putting vaseline on their edges?

He got out because Prior farted just as the ball passed Agar's bat making it sound like he hit it.

Are they just disregarding hotspot now? Not that I'm against it, just seems strange. There's no consistency.
