England National Cricket Team Former Captains Joe Root and Jos Butcler, the young fans left crazy because of donation gloves after their stunning Batting performances against the National Cricket team of South Africa.
The Dead-Rubber Third ODI of the series between the National Cricket team of England and the National Cricket team of South Africa is currently underway in the Rose Bowl in Southampton on Sunday 7 September.
Joe Root touches a stunning ton, Jos Butler goes Berserk while England stacks 414/5
Root and Buttler showed a Batting Masterclass in the last match of the ODI series against the Proteas and helped England to increase a huge score of 414/5.
Your daily dose of cricket!
The hosts, who went into the game after losing the first two ODIs, started the bat well when the Wicketkeeper-Batsman Jamie Smith hit 62 points.
The young all -rounder Jacob Bethell also played a big knock and hit 110 points, which was the first century of his career in professional cricket.
Speaking of Joe Root, while he hit number 3, he continued his gold run with the bat and again gave stability to the English team.
From the start he looked into enormous control and took a single of Codi Yusuf on the fourth ball of the 46th to reach his 19th ODI hundred.
Joe Root also became the first player to score 10 ODI ton on English soil before he was caught by replacement fellow player Maphaka on Point while Bowler Bosch went full and on the stumps.
While Root ran back after scoring 100 points, he gave his batting gloves to a delighted young fan in the crowd.
In the meantime, Jos Butler played ultra-aggressive cricket while he hit number 6 and shot 62 runs of 32 balls. He emulated Joe Root after the end of the innings and was seen that he handed his gloves to a young fan, leaving him in joy before he walked back to the dressing room.

It was pretty special – your first professional hundred scoring – Stuart Broad Hails Jacob Bethell
Speaking at Sky Sports, Stuart Broad praised the innings of Jacob Bethell and said he has a bright future. He went out:
“It was pretty special – your first professional scoring in an ODI – and he played beautifully. England spoke to him high all summer, so we knew the talent was there, we just hadn’t necessarily seen it. But the way he hit the ball here and now and now – he was sublime.
“He manipulated the field beautifully and is a fresh striker of the ball, not only against spider but also pace. What I hear is that he has an adult head, and he has a bright future.”
Stuart Broad was also of the opinion that Joe Root played a crucial role to ensure that Jacob Bethell got his first hundred. He explained:
“It is easy to talk about his hundred, but the way in which he showed Bethell to the calmness and experience of Root to his hundred. When Bethell was in the 90s, Root brought him back in strike and brought him through it fairly quickly.
“If you had asked Bethell who he would have wanted to be close to a hundred, he would have said root. Joe does not take point balls, let the pressure come to him, stable the ship. It was not a burning innings, but he did what he did. He thought he was there when they were there and when he got out, that Bigger Hitters could find it.”
