Ashes 2023: Joe Root Owned The Game In First Hour; He Was Pure Quality, Says Kevin Pietersen
AUS vs ENG: On Day Four of the first Ashes Test at Edgbaston, Joe Root started by attempting to reverse scoop off Australia skipper Pat Cummins, which he couldn't do so. But nailed the shot a short while later, hitting a six and four off seamer Scott Boland to set the ball rolling for an entertaining 55-ball 46.
Former England skipper Kevin Pietersen was in awe of Root's knock helping England extend their lead to 162 runs at lunch on Day Four. "Root owned the game, he ran the game, he was pure quality. He made Australia do everything he wanted them to do, like spreading the field. It was a masterclass."
