LONDON: Joe Root showed plenty of Yorkshire grit in making 89 as England beat Pakistan by four wickets in Saturday’s second ODI after a collision with Adil Rashid. They went for the same catch in the deep before Root somehow clung on to dismiss Hasan Ali, despite the impact of Rashid running into him. Root then had to undergo treatment on right ankle. ”Rash hit me pretty hard actually, it’s surprising that such a little guy would make such a strong tackle...but no dramas, it’s nothing serious,” said Root.
