Southgate came through the same route as Carsley, being promoted from the under-21 job and leading England initially on an interim basis, although he had previously managed Middlesbrough too. Carsley’s managerial experience has entailed interim spells at Coventry, Brentford and Birmingham. While many England fans wanted Southgate to go, criticising perceived negative tactics, he will go down as the country’s …

James Anderson believes Harry Brook can become England’s best ever batter, surpassing even new record run-scorer Joe Root. Brook became the first England man to make a Test triple century for 34 years in the astonishing defeat of Pakistan in Multan.
