Root is a phenomenal player. All time leading ODI scorer for England. Isn't he also the leading test match scorer as well

He is Englands highest test match scorer and he might catch Tendulkar

One of only 5 players excluding wicketkeeper in Test Match history to have taken 200+ catches too. He gets better with age...Sachin's record is a possibility!He is Englands highest test match scorer and he might catch Tendulkar

Just need Root to get to a 100 test wickets and he completes the game for me.

The ECB probably build a statue of him

If it wasn’t for his back he’d have got the ton up ;-)

Wonderful innings

It has to be recognised that the Windies are an underwhelming side at the moment. That being said, that's an impressive chase by England. It looked a long way off when we were 2/2 after 9 deliveries. Root is some player. The captaincy weighed him down, but now he's back as as a "regular" player, he looks imperious. And 166 off 139 balls is no mean feat in the 50 over game.

Root one of the best betters England has ever produced, fantastic player. Surprisingly modest for a Yorkshire man too.
