“A world class team like India, led by Virat [Kohli] I expect nothing less than a response and we’d be naive to think otherwise,” Root said during a virtual press conference.

Skipper Joe Root, who led England to a series-levelling win at Headingley, expects an Indian backlash in the penultimate Test at the Oval.


India had grabbed a 1-0 lead in the five-match series after beating England by 151 runs at Lord’s but England came back to level the series with an innings and 
76 run win in the third Test.


“A world class team like India, led by Virat [Kohli] I expect nothing less than a response and we’d be naive to think otherwise,” Root said during a virtual press conference.


“That’s why I think it’s really important that we don’t get too comfortable, we don’t think that we’ve achieved anything at this point, we’ve just got ourselves back to level playing.”
