However, England could still end the series at 2–2 and gain valuable points in the inaugural World Test Championship with a win in South London.”It’s important to watch next week,” Root said.

“We have an important Test match against Australia and we have to make sure we strengthen this summer: don’t lose this Ashes series.

“We have the Test Championship to play, not to lose this Ashes series. It matters to me, it matters to everyone involved.

“I know Ash will not be coming home, but in the context of the Test Championship, those points may be important at the end of the two-year cycle.

“Every game against Australia matters.
