Joe Root insists ‘nothing has changed’ when it comes to England’s approach against South Africa despite their heavy defeat at Lord’s.
In fact Root is planning on doubling down and taking the game to South Africa with more intent just as his coach and captain have asked for. Root might be the best batsman in the world right now, but even he accepts that there is room for him to find more of the method that worked so well in the first four Tests of the summer.
And on a ground where England have lost just once in 20 years, they are confident of turning the tables on the visitors at the next opportunity.
