After nearly a month-long camp in Abu Dhabi, the Ben Stokes-led side continued to train hard for the preparation for the five-match Test series.
The Three Lions are experimenting in training to counter India’s spin duo Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja. However, veteran English batter Joe Root is also preparing himself for pace challenge which he is likely to encounter from Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj.
Veteran English journalist, George Dobell reported that Root had an intense session in the morning where he faced James Anderson at nets.
