Joe Root kept up his extraordinary form in one-day international cricket when he became a part of England's record during the third one-day international against India at Lord's on Sunday. The experienced batter ended up becoming the first England batsman to achieve the feat of six consecutive 50-plus scores in ODIs, continuing his phenomenal consistency in the limited-overs format. Root entered at the crease just after the departure of Jacob Bethell and was again looking comfortable at the crease. At the time of writing, Root was on 60 off 43, helping England to achieve a massive total against India at Lord's. His most recent fifty contributed to a record-breaking innings during which he has been overpowering rival bowling attacks in recent months. Root's Remarkable Consistency Continues Joe Root's latest 50-plus score was just another example of how reliable he has been so far in his ODI career. Before his excellent innings against India at Lord's, he had already contributed 50* and 99* in England's first two games against India this series. His current run extends to parts of another record as well. In the last six ODI innings, Root has scored 61, 75, 111*, 76, 99 and 60 (today), and with this fifty, he became the first England batter in the History of the ODI game to achieve this feat. Root has been England's best batter throughout the three-match series against India. He has been the backbone of the batting whenever needed, while finding the boundaries whenever the situation demanded. Root continues to reaffirm his position among the best ODI batters in world cricket.

Duckett scored a magnificent 141 off 135 balls, while Bethell was 91 off 93, as the stand shared in a 192-run opening partnership. Root made sure England didn't lose momentum after the second wicket. He creatively rotated the strike, took advantage of any loose deliveries and kept the scoreboard ticking over effortlessly with captain Harry Brook. England had been 348/ after 48 overs at the time of writing and were well on their way to dominating the series decider. Root's fifty also brought to an end a fantastic 50-over series against India. Having scored an unbeaten 99 in the first ODI and an unbeaten 50 in the second, he continued this form at Lord's, once again reinforcing why he is one of the most consistent ODI batters around.
