England captain Joe Root's restlessness to resume hostility defeat in the last game against Australia. Australia at Adelaide Oval after a week of off-field pulling was perceptible on the eve of the first day-night Ashes Test on Friday. While Australian skipper Steve Smith basked in the confidence that comes from scoring an unbeaten innings of 141 against England in the first innings to lead his host side to a 10-wicket victory, Root fielded questions about Ben Stokes, Jonny Bairstow's "headbutt" and Moeen Ali's finger.

Root also wanted to "move on" from the Stokes controversies, as much as he was excited by the chance of the suspended all-rounder getting back out on a cricket pitch. Much as he wanted to move on, though, the questions kept returning to the sledging of players on the field, which Root said he was all in favor of, as long as limits were respected.
