Root continues his busy start with a single past point and Jamie Smith then plays a nonchalant flick for SIX onto the grass bank on the leg side.</p><p><strong>3rd over: England 13-1 (Smith 2, Root 10) </strong>Joe Root is the new batter. He whips Duffy off his pads for two and then times the next one even better for four. Root then pings a drive through cover for four more! Ten runs and the wicket of Duckett off the over.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/live/2025/oct/29/new-zealand-v-england-second-cricket-one-day-international-live">Continue reading...</a>
