Root urges England to be 'grown-ups' after Pakistan series win
LONDON: England captain Joe Root urged his side to celebrate in a “grown-up way” after a 194-run success in the second Test at Lord’s on Sunday sealed a series win over Pakistan.
LONDON: England captain Joe Root called for his team to celebrate maturely after a 194-run victory in the second Test against Pakistan secured a series win. Returning as Test captain for a second time following Ben Stokes' unexpected retirement, Root emphasized the importance of enjoying the win in a sensible manner. England's new fast-bowling quartet - Ollie Robinson, Jofra Archer, Josh Tongue and Atkinson - proved dominant against Pakistan, dismissing them for just 194, following their 2-0 lead in the series.
Root, who has amassed over 14,000 Test runs, expressed confidence in his team's ability to create their own legacy in fast-bowling history. However, Pakistan's Mohammad Abbas, who took five wickets, expressed concern over his team's poor performance, which has seen them lose their last 10 away Tests.
