Joe Root paid an emotional tribute to the late Graham Thorpe after scoring a milestone 33rd Test hundred against Sri Lanka at Lord's on Thursday, saying much of his success was down to the impact of his former coach.

His innings meant Root equalled Alastair Cook's record for the most Test hundreds by an England batsman, after he came in with the side faltering at 42-2 on the first day of the second Test.
