Joe Root felt his England side could have taken more risks in the second test match against the West Indies. The Barmy Army drew the penultimate match of the series in Barbados, as they failed to dislodge the resolute Windies captain Kraigg Brathwaite.
In front his home crowd, he scored a magnificent 160 to lead his side to a first innings score of 411, and made an unbeaten 56 in the second innings to ensure his side would share the spoils. The opening batsman faced a combined total of 673 balls in the match, the most ever by a West Indian batsman and went on to receive the player of the match award.
Root and Ben Stokes scored magnificent centuries of their own in the first innings as England declared on 511/9. The skipper also ended the second innings when his side were 185/6, setting West Indies a target of 282.
