“We don’t have long to harp on it. We can get straight back out there at Old Trafford and put a few wrongs right.”
The fifth and last Test gets going on Friday.
Britain had not lost a home series for a very long time until they were beaten 1-0 by New Zealand in June.
Set 368 to succeed at the Oval or, all the more, all things considered, planning to bat out the last day to get a draw, England were bowled out for 210 soon after tea.
Before the series, England experienced an overwhelming last-day rout in the second Test at Lord’s, just to skip back with an innings win in the third Test at Emerald Headingley.
“We must gander at how we reacted from Lord’s and the exhibition we put in at Headingley,” said Root, who made 36 on Monday.
“All There are confidences we can go to Old Trafford and get a success.”
Britain was without a few best option players at the Oval. Speed bowlers Jofra Archer and Stuart Broad are harmed, all-rounder Ben Stokes has put a hold on from the game and wicketkeeper Jos Buttler was missing for the introduction of his subsequent kid.
In any case, Root said: “We take a gander at the gathering of players we have here and totally feel we shouldn’t be in this position.
“Just as India has played for the current week, I actually feel like we ought to have something out of this Test.”
Britain dropped six gets in the match and neglected to take an ordering first-innings lead, bowled out for 290 because of India’s 191.
“We might have stepped our clout on things prior in the game,” said Root. “We ought to have a greater lead – it would have been ideal to have another 100 runs. That truly set us back.
“We put down a couple of possibilities. Some were incredibly troublesome.”
With just three days between Tests, England will screen the wellness of James Anderson.
The 39-year-old, their driving Test wicket-taker ever, has played every one of the six of the home Tests this late spring and bowled 47 overs at the Oval.
Anderson went into the initial Test of 2019 Ashes series nursing a calf injury and was simply ready to bowl four overs before taking no further part in the match.
“You need to gauge everything up, to ensure actually he’s in the perfect spot to play a Test,” said Root.
“Indeed, even with his quality, if he goes down harmed it leaves us in an extremely challenging spot, for the remainder of the game as well as the colder time of year also.
