Hussain: Not trying to emulate Stokes - Root was just Root

Nasser Hussain praised Joe Root’s poised return to the captaincy after England secured a thumping three-day victory over Pakistan by an innings and 103 runs in the first Test at Headingley.

The skipper oversaw a dominant all-round performance, with Josh Tongue (8-89) and Ollie Robinson (8-80) leading the way with the ball, while vice-captain Harry Brook (91), Jordan Cox (73) and Root himself (66) helped England to 409 in their only innings.
