Reaping the rewards of trading funkiness for patience, paying a price for moving in the field... and working on getting the best from Jofra Archer: What we learned from Joe Root's first day back as England's Test captain

Joe Root returned as England's Test captain, with his first decision being to ask Pakistan to bat at a venue known for its dramatic conditions and mood swings. The match provided early lessons for Root, including the benefits of trading aggressive field settings for patience, as well as the costs of moving fielders at key moments. Root and his side are also working on how to best utilise fast bowler Jofra Archer in the Test format.
