Joe Root keen to move on

England batsman Joe Root is determined to put the controversial attack he suffered at the hands of Australia's David Warner behind him as he prepares for his first Ashes series.

“It’s all done now. I hope we can move on,” Root said Saturday ahead of England’s Ashes warm-up four-day match against Essex at Chelmsford, east of London, starting on Sunday.

“David Warner has apologised; I’ve accepted it. As far as I’m concerned, that’s all behind us.”u00a0
