English skipper, Joe Root, lauded the played his labeled as Mr. Incredible. “Everyone understands that we are watching a player at the peak of his powers at the peak of world cricket, who is delivering time and time again.

“We have to savor that and appreciate that and we have to understand that we are without wanting to pump his tires too much in the presence of greatness.

“He's a genuine all-round player, something you don't see much in world cricket. He's someone you can genuinely turn to any time and he'll change you a game.

“He's Mr. Incredible. He probably looks a bit like the cartoon character, too. He's a similar shape, but probably a bit skinnier than him now.

“Ben can come in and play through a range of gears and situations. It shows how valuable he is to our team.”

The 3rd and deciding Test will start on Friday and this game will also be played at the home of Lancashire cricket, Old Trafford.
