Twitter reacts as Joe Root's 3D performance wins the game for England
What a dominating performance by England. Joe Root has become the fourth England player in a World Cup match to make 50+ runs opening the batting after taking 2+ wickets whilst bowling. The Twitterati showered him with praise for his stupendous all-round performance that took England over the line.
This bloke Root though!
Joe root is something else. He will get player of the tournament if England win the world cup

Let this sink in!
Chris Gayle has been Windies best bowler today, let that sink in, slightly embarrassing, the only one to hold Root down and have a respectable economy #ENGvWI
