ENG vs IND: It's disappointing and frustrating, says Joe Root

England captain Joe Root has admitted that his team's humiliation in the fourth Test by India is "hard to take" and called on his side to be more "ruthless at certain points of the game" following a painful final day at The Oval. Openers Rory Burns and Haseeb Hameed each made a half-century, but of the rest only Root passed 20 - before he was bowled for the second time in the game by Shardul Thakur. "It's disappointing and frustrating, especially turning up with the opportunity to go and win a Test match. "We have to be a little bit more ruthless at certain points of the game, and say: 'Right, I'm going to grab this moment and get us into that advantageous position," he added.
