Magnificent Root steers England home
Western Mail
|June 02, 2025
JOE Root starred with a majestic unbeaten 166 as England ended a run of four one-day series defeats in a row by beating West Indies by three wickets at Sophia Gardens.
-
After a ragged display in the field with four dropped catches and two missed run-outs which allowed the Windies to post 308 all out, led by Keacy Carty’s 103, England were reeling on 133 for five in reply.
But Root thumped two sixes and 21 fours, putting on 143 in 121 balls alongside Will Jacks, who made a vital 49, to lift England into an unassailable 2-0 lead in the Metro Bank series.
The Yorkshireman, who leap-frogged Eoin Morgan to become England's all-time leading ODI run-scorer during his 139-ball innings, helped England claim a first ODI series win since September 2023.
