James Anderson allayed concerns after prolific batter Joe Root was forced to leave the field following a blow on his right little finger. Root sustained the injury during the 18th over of India’s second innings when he tried to catch an edge from Shubman Gill in the slips. “He’s just been looking after it basically. He took a knock on it this morning in practice I think. He then took one in the field as well,” Anderson said. “I don’t think there’s concern. Just making sure it’s as good as possible for tomorrow. There’s a chance we will need him with the bat. So it’s making sure he can hold a bat.”
