DJ Willey run out DUCK

So that happened. I feel sick. I can't handle this. Full credit to England's batsman for pulling that one out. They had no business being in this one. Roy got England off to a flyer and Root's class showed. It wouldn't have been an England chase without a wobble at the end though.

England still alive for another day.
