Description
Joe Root speaks after day four of the 3rd Test between England and New Zealand at Trent Bridge, with England closing on 103-4 chasing 373 after New Zealand declared on 288-9.
Daryl Mitchell made an unbeaten century and Rachin Ravindra scored 94 before Ben Stokes announced he will retire from international cricket at the end of the Test. Stokes then took a wicket moments after the news broke before opening the batting and making 30 in England’s run chase.
Root pays tribute to Stokes’ England career, calling his wicket “classic Ben Stokes” and describing him as “one of England’s finest”. He reflects on their bond from childhood cricket, Stokes’ captaincy legacy, the emotional weight of the day, England’s tactical batting order, and the challenge of finishing the series with a perfect send off.
