ICC Champions Trophy 2017: England vs Bangladesh, 5 talking points

2. Joe Root bats Bangladesh out of the game with a dominating hundred

Joe Root haunted the Bangladesh bowlers in his dominating hundred

The in-form batsman, Joe Root, continues to pile up runs at the International level.

Bangladesh looked confident after removing Jason Roy early in the innings but their joy was cut short as Root came out with a positive intent and kept the scoreboard ticking, not letting Bangladesh build any pressure.

None of the bowlers troubled him and the classy right-hander made the best of the conditions to put up a batting master class, 133 not-out.

This will set him up for the tournament beautifully and England will be pleased with his form. It’s going to be hard work for the bowlers if he continues to bat the way he did.
