England take a 2-0 lead
That's that then folks! England seal a four-wicket win. A classy knock from Root, dropping down anchor and steering England to the doorstep of victory without much hassle. Morgan chipped in with a half-century as well and was involved in a 100-plus partnership with Root which settled the early jitters of losing Roy and Hales. From there, Stokes provided some muscle, Moeen splashed his elegance and England getting the job done with a fair degree of ease. Again, Pakistan just not putting enough on the board to pose a challenge to this English batting line-up which keeps impressing with every outing.
"Guys really worked hard and kept fighting. 2/3 is not the start you want, but scoring a hundred from there, I think it was one of the best hundreds I've seen from him. To recover from there was brilliant but still if you have to win games, you need to score 300. I think we have the capability, just need to apply ourselves. If we can have good partnerships in the middle and at the start, we can easily get 300. We'd like to find a combination so as to bat deep and have the bowling attack as well. We got a lot of positives and I think we are on the right track." - Azhar Ali.
