The Yorkshireman is unequivocally one of the country’s greatest ever players and was showered with praise following the achievement.

At the beginning of the Second Test he turned his hand to bowling – delivering six overs on the opening day.

But it was a moment with fellow England bowler Jack Leach which left viewers in stitches.

Root had his team-mate bend down as he worked on the condition of the ball on Leach’s bald head.

This got quite the reaction on social media as Sky Sports shared the clip alongside the comment: “Joe Root finding the best ways to shine the ball 🤣.”

Responding, one user said: “Hahahaha 😂 that is hilarious.”

Another added: “What’s being shined though, the ball or his head?? 🤔😂

A third replied: “Classic Joe Root! 😂 He always knows how to get the best out of the ball.”

Leach took two wickets and Matthew Potts and Brydon Carse took one each as the Test match hangs in the balance heading into day two.
