Women's cricket: Root inspired us ahead of India, says Shrubsole

Anya Shrubsole will use Joe Root and England’s spectacular comeback last week as inspiration during today’s match against India.

England face the hosts in their second ICC Women’s World Twenty20 match and expect a tougher test than the once they faced against Bangladesh.

Watching Root and Jason Roy chase down South Africa’s 230 on Friday, Shrubsole believes that that innings can spur England on to victory.
