‘Worst in history’: Root rages at star’s all-time Bazball brain fade
Joe Root’s typically composed 99 not out steered a jittery England to a four-wicket win over India in the second one-day international in Cardiff on Thursday to level this three-match series at 1-1.
Root came in to bat with England 0-1 after Ben Duckett was caught behind off Jasprit Bumrah from the first ball of the innings and the home side were still struggling at 8-2 and 125-5 on a two-paced pitch.

Joe Root has finished unbeaten on 99 as England claimed a four-wicket win over India in Cardiff to level their ODI series.

Joe Root has steered England to a four-wicket win over India in Cardiff to level the one-day series and set up a decider at Lord's on Sunday.
