New Zealand vs England, ICC Cricket World Cup 2015: Eoin Morgan out for 17
Eoin Morgan was out for 17 after he and Joe Root put their heads down and nearly bailed England out of trouble with a 47-run stand in the ninth match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 between New Zealand and England at Wellington on Friday. Root looked fluent after a sedate start, while Morgan — on the back of some terrible form — took his time to get set before holing out off Daniel Vettori to Adam Milne, who took a fine diving catch.
