Michael Vaughan and Monty Panesar have defended England and Australia 's Ashes stars after a video emerged of police asking them to break up an early morning drinking session.
The video, obtained by the Sydney Morning Herald, shows Root, James Anderson, Nathan Lyon, Travis Head and Alex Carey getting approached by police at around 6am the morning the day after the final Test in Hobart finished.
The players are all still wearing their whites from the game and the video appears to have been taken by England's assistant coach Graham Thorpe, who can be heard saying: "I'll just video this for the lawyers."
