Joe Root uses Jack Leach's head to shine ball as England praised for 'ingenious' thinking PAKvENG
Joe Root and Jack Leach have made a record-breaking Test match between England and Pakistan even more memorable.
During the first innings with Pakistan’s score standing at 279-2, Root wanted to shine the ball as England were in the pursuit of wickets on a flat Rawalpindi pitch.England had a record-breaking first innings as they put up 657 on the board, giving Pakistan a huge mountain to climb when they took to the crease, and after they got the wickets of Imam-Ul-Haq and Abdullah Shafique, the visitors wanted more.
As a result, they found a unique way of getting sweat on the ball, taking it directly off Leach’s head as Root rubbed the ball on his shiny bonce. Previously, saliva was the method used to treat the ball but since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, the International Cricket Council has prohibited that method and players from countries have had to find different ways to get the job done.Sweat is just as effective and Leach was a willing volunteer as captain Root ran towards him and rubbed the ball directly on his head to help their cause.
