In the fifth Test match of the Ashes series against Australia, England`s batting maestro Joe Root scored an unbeaten 160 runs off 242 deliveries. His knock also included 15 boundaries.
Reflecting on his knock at the post-match presser, Root said that the pitch seemed to be trickier, but the aim was to maximise the innings.
