"The games coming thick and fast. It is always going to be tricky [to keep] the balance of it [so that] you don't blow someone out and injure someone," added Root.

The 30-year-old England captain praised his side's bowling. "From the bowling perspective, we were pretty much flawless. The right lengths early on and managed to do that for long periods of time.
