NEW DELHI: After England's five-wicket victory over Sri Lanka, captain Ollie Pope praised batters Joe Root and Jamie Smith for their match-winning performances, calling Root a "greedy Yorkshire man" for his insatiable hunger for runs.
Root played a crucial role with a composed half-century during a tense run-chase, while Smith's maiden Test century in the first innings gave England a significant lead of 122 runs, which was instrumental in their win.
