Root denies 'drinking culture' - but says 'Stokes feels he let himself down'

Joe Root says "there isn't a drinking culture" in the England team and feels there is no need for an alcohol ban after Ben Stokes breached team protocols following the nightclub incident that has left his Test future in the balance.

Root, who will lead the England side for the second Test against New Zealand at the Oval, more than four years after handing the baton to Stokes, also admits "mistakes have been made" and revealed Stokes "feels like he's let himself down".
