Root set foot

Ashwin was taking wickets from one end and Joe Root, the best batsman of the England team, had established himself from the other end. He was scoring runs continuously.

Bumrah brought India closer to victory by dismissing Tom Hartley and Mark Wood in the same over. Ravindra Jadeja gave the ninth blow to England by bowling Bashir. Root was going towards his century but this path was not easy for him because the team did not have wickets.

Root scored 84 runs in 128 balls with the help of 12 fours.
