Skipper Joe Root says Ben Stokes will continue to be a big part of the English dressing room irrespective of the outcome of his affray trial beginning Monday.

"Stokesy-s got that knack hasn-t he? He wants to be involved in the big moments of the game and he did just that today. He-s gone about things exactly how he was in every other game. And I don-t see that ever changing," Stokes said. Stokes played a prominent role in England-s 31-run victory over India in the opening Test at the Edgbaston.
