Emotional Joe Root dedicates his century to good friend' Graham Thorpe
Briefly

"It was nice to be able to think of him in that moment. He's someone I'm sorely going to miss and who I owe a lot to."
"Root said he was a little bit twitchy on 99, where he was stuck for 12 deliveries. You can't not hear the crowd, he said. There is an element of relief when you cross the line. Relief and love."
"Thorpey was one of those people who offered me so much... I definitely wouldn't be where I am now. He put a lot into my game."
"It's so easy to make it something when it isn't at all... He seems to be in a really good place with it. That's more of a storyline for [the media] to play around with."
