#3 Joe Root

Joe Root couldn't quite perform to expectations in the ODI series against India, but has started the ongoing series with a bang. He came to bat after Keshav Maharaj dismissed Jason Roy to break his 102-run opening stand with Bairstow.

Therefater, Root scored 86 runs off 77 balls with five fours and two sixes. He batted until the 45th over, but didn't get enough support from others. Anrich Nortje castled him to cut short his stay in the middle.

#1 Anrich Nortje

Anrich Nortje didn't win the Player of the Match in Chester-le-Street, but he played a massive role in South Africa crossing the finish line. The pacer conceded runs at an economy rate of six, but also picked up four wickets.

In fact, he picked up the last four wickets that fell during England's innings. His most important scalp was that of Joe Root, who looked threatening for the visiting team.
