Joe Root has thanked his England team for pulling together exactly as he asked in his first Test in charge at Lord's - and reminded them he wants the same thing in Nottingham.
Moeen Ali finished with a match haul of 10 for 112 as England triumphed by 211 runs. "It's a great start, and the whole team were fabulous throughout. Everything that was thrown at them and asked of them, they responded extremely well. I didn't really know what to expect, but what was really pleasing was everything I asked of the lads they were very open to. "All I said was I want us to try to be quite proactive, stay ahead of the game when those opportunities come, take responsibility if you're in a position to do so," Root said.
