Read our privacy policy Joe Root is confident Jonny Bairstow “has the bit between his teeth” following his controversial stumping at Lord’s and expects him to be in the mood in front of a home crowd at Headingley this week. “Let’s hope it happens again.” Root knows all about leadership in the heat of Ashes cricket, having overseen three campaigns against the old enemy during his five-and-a-half years in charge. And while Stokes invited Australia to think about “the spirit of cricket”, Root warned that the moment may harm their future standing in the game. You’re allowed to disagree on certain things and see the game differently and clearly that is the case on this topic.” Yorkshire have said they will be paying particular attention to security arrangements for the match following the angry scenes at Lord’s, working alongside the England and Wales Cricket Board and West Yorkshire Police, and while the famously lively atmosphere in the Western Terrace is likely to be in evidence, Root called for supporters to stay on the right side of the line.
