England head coach Chris Silverwood on Sunday said that skipper Joe Root learnt from the mistakes he made during the Lord’s Test against India and that helped the side stage a comeback in the third Test.
With the score reading 215/2 at the start of the fourth morning, India would have hoped to continue the remarkable comeback they had started scripting on the third day of the third Test at Leeds on Friday. But it wasn’t to be as the England bowlers came out all guns blazing and wrapped the game up in the opening session itself on Saturday to register an innings and 76-run win. “He reflected on the Lord’s Test and some of the decisions he made. He does learn as he goes along and that’s a great characteristic for a captain to have: to reflect back honestly and make a difference. And he’s certainly made a difference this game. Joe and I reflected on the Lord’s Test and thought about what we could learn and how we could get better,” said Silverwood during a virtual press conference.
