Root and Morgan secure series win

» JOE Root struck another century as England cruised to an eight-wicket success to seal their first one-day international series victory over India since 2011.

Root (100 not out) and Eoin Morgan (88 not out) put on an unbroken 186 for the third wicket at Headingley - the former reaching three figures as he did at Lord’s on Saturday - as the top-ranked ODI side chased down 257 to record a timely series win ahead of next summer’s World Cup on home soil.
