England beat Pakistan at Lord’s to secure an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series with one match remaining. After the victory, captain Joe Root calls on the team to mark the win in a restrained way.
Root says the side should “celebrate in a sensible, grown-up way,” adding that players have faced off-field issues and controversies in the past year. While he emphasizes that the team should not focus on off-field matters, he urges players to enjoy the achievement of winning Test matches and Test series.
The outlets align on the key details: the Lord’s victory, the series becoming 2-0 with one game left, and Root’s message that the team should avoid a repeat of prior disruptive celebrations.
