England captain Joe Root lauded off-spinner Moeen Ali-s match-winning effort of nine wickets terming his performance in the 60-run win as the best ever for the national team.

Having taken 5 for 63 in the first innings, Moeen took 4 for 71 in the second essay including wickets of Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane to decisively tilt it in favour of England. "Today was probably the best I have seen him Moeen bowl in an England shirt. Such a testament to how he-s gone about things. That strength and depth of the squad really excites me. When you-re in the form he-s in, it-s a nice luxury to have about playing him at three," Root said after the match.
