ICC World Cup 2019 most runs, wickets after England vs West Indies: Root reclaims top spot, Archer now second

Joe Root slammed his second hundred of the tournament – a 94-ball unbeaten 100 – to reclaim the top spot in the batting charts of the 2019 World Cup. Jason Roy and Jos Buttler, the other Englishmen in the top ten, both played in the match but neither batted, albeit for different reasons.

No West Indian features in the top ten, though Nicholas Pooran is just 4 runs short of tenth place.
