Unfussy, unfazed and uninterested in speculating, England No. 6 Joe Root sounds a lot like England opener Joe Root did during the northern summer
England will miss Tim Bresnan enormously at the start of the Ashes series and his replacement will be targeted by Australia's batsmen, according to Ed Cowan

Kevin Pietersen struck a belligerent half-century and there were 80s for Alastair Cook and Jonathan Trott as England reached 5 for 302 in reply to 304
