CAPTAIN SENSIBLE
RESTORED skipper Joe Root led England to a 3-0 whitewash of Pakistan, easing early nerves caused by losing two wickets in the opening over to see his side across the line in the company of the impressive Jordan Cox.
Both men finished with unbeaten half centuries to ensure Root’s safe tenure, following the high-profile departures of Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum, started on a positive note before sterner tests ahead.
