Joe Root's magical figures with the ball Yes, Root managed a mysterious figure with the ball, claiming 5/8 in the previous game at this venue. It happened to be the lowest runs ever conceded by an English bowler in a Test fifer since 1924 when Arthur Gilligan claimed 6/7 against South Africa. Also, it was the first instance of an English skipper claiming five-for since 1983 when Bob Willis scalped 5/35 against New Zealand.
