Root hails England’s mental strength after ‘brilliant chase’ – Sydney Morning Herald
Almost a year on from Ben Stokes’ heroic batting display to stun Australia at Headingley, Jos Buttler and Chris Woakes combined for a 139-run sixth-wicket stand.
“It was a brilliant chase. I couldn’t be more proud of the lads,” Root said.
“Jos, it shows the mental strength, to play that situation and manage different passages of it, calculating risks, manipulating the spinner, brilliant innings, and Chris was magnificent too.
