Great win for England but I’m concerned about Root and Bairstow. For two batsmen that we’re relying so heavily on along with Stokes, we haven’t seen much from them with the bat since Edgbaston (not to mention Bairstow’s poor performance behind the stumps). I have a feeling that if it’s going to be anything like 2019, we’ll need someone to step up at Old Trafford…
