Jos Buttler battled concerns over the health of his father and thoughts about losing his Test place when he and Chris Woakes guided England to their astonishing turnaround victory in the first Test against Pakistan. Root said: “You watch him play and know he’s more than capable of three or four more Test hundreds. He’s got all the attributes, he was clear how he wanted to play Yasir Shah and managed the seamers. “But he showed some great shots and great character to walk off at the end. This is a fantastic win and we take some great momentum forward for the rest of the series.”
