We knew from the beginning they could do it. Didn't we?

funnily enough it was the hatchet man himself who was calmness personified

Or ask for your daughters Sky Go username and password and watch it on the laptop

Is Joe Root the best all format, all conditions bats,an in world cricket right now? All his rivals (Smith, Kohli, Williamson) seem to have a format or region in which they haven't really proven themselves.

[Alviro Patterson]

Joe Root should be given the freedom of Yorkshire for his sensational knock

Batting masterclass with AB De Villiers? Nah, sod that I want a Joe Root one!

[Aidan11]

What a win that was.

[Aidan11]

Shame just one player gets MoM.

It was a great team effort.

[Aidan11]

In fact just give it to Jordan so he can see what one looks like.

[Durhamfootman]

It annoys me that they never give MOM to the bowlers

Joe Root should be given the freedom of Yorkshire for his sensational knock

I've awarded him the freedom of my bins

a heady honour

Only region missing for Joe Root is Australia, otherwise he has wiped the floor of those three.

joe root is the second coming of jesus

[Alviro Patterson]

Imagine how we'd react if we actually win the World Cup!

Oddly enough, today just shaded the feelings of England winning the 2010 final against Australia purely on the match scenario.

I thought Alex Hales scoring a century and England chasing near 190 against Sri Lanka two years ago was special, but Root's knock was something else entirely.

[backfootpunch]

As long as we bowl first we will never lose again

We could have chased 250 today
