Joe Root: A look at the new England Test captain's funnier side

"He likes to joke around, but there is also a very serious side to Joe Root, he is a steely character."

The words of Sky Sports' Nasser Hussain following the news of Root's appointment as England's new Test captain, but click on the video above as we celebrate some of Root's cheekier moments over the years.

We cover Root's rise from fresh-faced teen to giving T20 batting tips to Michael Atherton in The Zone, as well as his success in other sports: table tennis, football, and golf...

He gives Ian Ward a ping-pong lesson, goes training with Sheffield United and indulges in a spot of the 'Seve shuffle' after sinking a monster putt.

There's also a salute from the balcony for Ben Stokes, plus some concern for a Sky Sports cameraman who took a tumble, and significantly less of it when his former captain Alastair Cook is struck in an uncompromising position.

Plus, how could we forget that golden impression of Bob Willis from the Trent Bridge dressing room following England's Ashes triumph in 2015.
