Root insists he has plenty more to offer England side

JOE Root feels he has “still got a lot to give” after chalking off another milestone in his remarkable career to steer England to a one-day series victory over the West Indies.

England's pursuit of 309 appeared doomed after lurching to two for two and 133-5 at Cardiff but Root showed his enduring class with an ODI-best 166 not out off 139 balls to seal a three-wicket win.

In helping England move into an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match Metro Bank series, Root became his country’s most prolific run-scorer, overhauling former captain Eoin Morgan's tally of 6,957.

“It’s a sign you're getting old, having played as many games as that,” the 34-year-old said with a smile after becoming the first Englishman to go past 7,000 ODI runs.
