All-round Joe Root powers England to 4-wkt win in second ODI
Brisbane, Jan 19 (CRICKETNMORE): England rode on Test skipper Joe Root's all-round show to beat Australia by four wickets in the second One-day International and take a crucial 2-0 lead in the five-match rubber here on Friday.
Chasing 271, opener Jonny Bairstow (60) and one-down Alex Hales (57) laid a solid platform with a 117-run second-wicket stand before Root (46 not out) guided the tourists home with more than five overs to spare.
