Joe Root paid an emotional tribute to the late Graham Thorpe after scoring a milestone 33rd Test hundred against Sri Lanka at Lord's on Thursday, saying much of his success was down to the impact of his former coach.
A deeply moved Root, whose composed 143 helped England reach 358-7 at stumps, told reporters:"I've been very lucky to work with a lot of people, whether it be senior players, coaches and mentors. Root added:"It evolved into more than that, we became good friends and I really enjoyed spending a lot of time with him. It was nice to pay a small tribute. He means a lot to me and that was a small thank you."
Root, eventually out to his trademark reverse ramp, came in after Ollie Pope was dismissed for just one -- his third single-figure score since deputising as captain for the injured Ben Stokes.
