EuropeSportsHigh confidence — 83/100
Joe Root admits England descended into "chaos" before he returned as the Test captain and believes things are back on track after sealing a cricket series whitewash over Pakistan on Saturday.
England survived a scare before Root and Jordan Cox scored unbeaten half-centuries to knock off the target of 130 and win the third Test at Edgbaston by eight wickets with five sessions to spare.
The dramatic retirement of Ben Stokes in June followed by coach Brendon McCullum being stripped of his red-ball responsibilities briefly left the Test side with a worrying leadership vacuum.
