Root made 64 and an incredible 109 in the drawn opening Test against India at Trent Bridge, while no other England player oversaw more than 32. "We need to ensure that the folks batting around him are going to the gathering also," said Silverwood. 

"They need to ease the heat off him. 

"I must assist him in the background, ease the heat off and permit him to focus on his cricket on the pitch."Four days ere the game, Ben Stokes, England's key all-rounder and Root's evil habit commander, pulled out from the series for emotional wellness reasons. During the match, England likewise affirmed pace bowler Jofra Archer won't play again this year due to an elbow injury.

The sightseers arrived at 52-1; however, downpour forestalled any play on the last day on Sunday. "The truth of the matter is there's a great deal going on," said Silverwood. "To do what Joe did in that Test match was marvelous.

"What he did early prepare in the Championship shows there's a ton of class there. "He put in his absolute best effort in Durham when he scored that hundred - it shows he can adapt against this [India] assault. "Sooner or later, we should settle on a choice and offer him a chance. I'm certain that he's prepared."
