Joe Root urged England's bowlers to carve out their own legacy following the series victory against Pakistan at Lord's. England won the second Test by 194 runs to take a 2-0 lead with one match remaining.
Ollie Robinson took key wickets to finish with match figures of 8 for 104. The win marked Root's second stint as Test captain.
England face Pakistan in the final Test at The Oval starting on Friday. A clean sweep would give Root's side their first series win in the format since 2021.
CricHubb Take
Root's challenge to the bowlers reveals his understanding that batting alone cannot sustain England's Test revival.
