Report
Root was a surprise wicket-taker as he got two out caught-and-bowled to help reduce the Windies to just 212 all out from their 50 overs, before hitting a superb unbeaten 100, his second ton of the competition, to guide them to 213-2 and a comfortable win.
With Roy out injured, Root walked out with Jonny Bairstow to open the England response, and batted in classic Root style as he had all the time in the world to coast to three figures as his side coasted to victory.
Root and Bairstow put on 95 for the first wicket before Bairstow fell for 45, and Chris Woakes was elevated to number three and hit a nice 40 to fire England towards the finish line.
Yorkshireman Root has often shown that batting comes all too easy to him at times, and with the Windies falling miles short of a testing total, Root was never troubled as he oozed class in his 94-ball century helping England to their modest target in just 33.1 overs.
