Root's 166* is overall the fifth-highest individual score for England in men's ODIs and their highest against West Indies.

6 Number of hundreds by Root in the 300-plus target chases in ODIs, the second-most by any batter, behind Virat Kohli's nine. Four of those six tons by Root came in successful chases.
