Root's brilliant sing-along moment with Barmy Army
England skipper Joe Root used the power of the Barmy Army to fire up his side early on day four at the MCG.
As England's famous supporter group belted out their traditional 'Jerusalem' anthem during the first over of Australia's innings on Friday, Root was seen singing along with them.
Root has been heavily criticised for his woeful form during the Ashes series.
However he appeared to win over his detractors with the very human moment.

The Barmy Army certainly have been in fine form Down Under, making headlines with a number of cheeky and brilliant moments.
They took aim at Jackson Bird with a brutal sledge on Wednesday after the Aussie bowler failed to take a wicket while conceding over 100 runs in England's first innings:
They also trolled an MCG security guard with these hilarious antics on Tuesday:
And they paid a touching tribute to late Aussie cricketer Phillip Hughes on the three-year anniversary of his death during the first Test in Brisbane.
