England Test captain Joe Root has laid the law amid the latest scandal of boozing in the team camp.

England captain Joe Root has laid down the law over the standards of behaviour he expects from his side as they deal with yet another off-field embarrassment, according to fast bowler Josh Tongue.

Brydon Carse was dropped from the squad for the second Test against Pakistan at Lord's starting Thursday.

The 31-year-old was referred to the Cricket Regulator after videos on social media appeared to show the seamer being led away by police in handcuffs following an incident at a nightclub in Derby last weekend.

England thrashed Pakistan by an innings and 103 runs in Root's first match back in charge at Headingley last week.
