Root helps England beat Bangladesh

"Whatever you throw at Joe Root, he proves that he can do it", former England captain Alec Stewart said on the BBC's Test Match Special.

Root's innings was his highest in one-day internationals, surpassing his 125 against South Africa at Centurion previous year.

But worryingly for England, bidding to win their first major International Cricket Council ODI trophy, paceman Chris Woakes bowled just two overs before suffering a potentially tournament-ending left side strain.

In a batsman-heavy side, the big contributor was their best, Tamim Iqbal, who made 128, the highest ever individual score for Bangladesh in the trophy.

"When I came back from the IPL, my body felt as good as it can be", he said.

It is believed Trevor Bayliss, who watched his side chase 306 to beat Bangladesh in the opening group game on Thursday, will turn to a like-for-like replacement with Steven Finn or Toby Roland-Jones tipped to join the squad.

Medium pacer Plunkett was the pick of the bowlers for England, taking four wickets in his 10 overs and conceding 59 runs.

Root too was clearly inconvenienced by what appeared at first to be an ankle twisted as he set off for a run, but the Yorkshireman later said "It's all right - it looks like it's just a bit of cramp ..."

Speaking on Friday after being ruled out, Woakes said: "More than anything, it's really frustrating". "I'll listen to the medical staff, they know exactly what they are doing".

"After Tamim got out, then Mushfiqur, the next ball, that was the problem for us".

Ben Stokes, who leads the charge of England's pace battery, is accompanied by Jake Ball, Mark Wood, David Willey and Liam Plunkett. Both have struggled to remain as economic or effective as Woakes. He signalled his readiness for a recall by claiming three wickets for England Lions against South Africa A on Thursday.

The Victorian's off-spin hasn't been sighted in his past nine ODIs, and the last time the skipper turned to Maxwell was in Bridgetown against West Indies, on June 26, last year.

Woakes, who bowled only two overs yesterday, was having a scan last night but the signs were that England will have to call up a replacement today.
