Joe Root has faced trouble with LBW dismissal in recent few games.
The 35-year-old has been dismissed LBW nine times in his previous seven Test matches, including seven times this summer, which is more worrisome. However, Root thinks that this season's circumstances have made life challenging for all English batters.
"I've played this game a long time, and I've always found ways of solving those problems and working it through. I don't see this as being any different. There's a reason why I've got 14,000 runs and a reason why I've played the best part of 15 years at this level.
Of course it's frustrating that there's sort of a trend. There are probably four umpires' calls within that, which could have gone the other way, and the ball is probably deviating more than it ever has. You try to be realistic and understand where everything's at, but also be aware of what you need to do to keep improving and keep getting better. I'm pretty sure I'll get through the other side. I'm not too concerned about that,” Root told BBC Test Match Special.
Root has scored 14208 runs in 168 Tests and has the second most runs in the format, just behind Sachin Tendulkar’s 15921 runs in 200 Tests. He used his current run of form to underscore how hard scoring runs in the oldest format can be.
"You're never given anything in this game. You have to work for everything. You have to keep working hard, and I'll certainly keep doing that. You're constantly going to get challenged, and you're constantly going to have to look to evolve and learn, but that's never been something I've shied away from, and I certainly won't be doing so moving forward,” said Root.
Root also believes that the ball itself may have contributed to the particularly difficult batting conditions in England this summer.
He saw a difference in the Dukes' ball from the previous season, when both England and India pressed for ball changes several times during their series, particularly in the opening three Tests.
"The balls have been different this summer. I think there is a different lacquer. They were worried about it going out of shape. They are denting surfaces more,” he added.
England have gone 2-0 up in the three-match Test series with the 194-run win over Pakistan in the second match at Lord’s. The third and final match will be played at Edgbaston from September 9 onwards.
