Despite Joe Root's batting performance taking the headlines in England's Cricket World Cup win over the West Indies, captain Eoin Morgan says he's just as happy with his bowling options.

His side currently sit in second place in the table as they look ahead to Tuesday's clash with bottom side Afghanistan.

Dubliner Morgan's excited to see how England's bowling pattern develops during the competition.

"Yeah, I think it's been one of the trends of the tournament. A lot of the teams have bowlers who can bowl quite quickly. We are very fortunate we have three guys that can touch 90mph. It's something that we are going to use. It will be a strength of ours.

But also on the other side of it, we have a very good leg-spinner, a very good off-spinner, so all round I think we have areas covered if trends do change later in the tournament and wickets get older, the spinners might come into it a bit more."

Morgan's also praised Root, who scored an unbeaten century as the tournament favourites made it three wins from four group games in Southampton.

"Exceptionally pleased. I think he is now the highest run scorer in the tournament. He's scored two hundreds. He's such an important player for us. He is the glue that holds everything together and probably a side of his batting that has got better over the last two or three years that people haven't seen a lot of, his expansive game.

He never seems to go at less than a run a ball. You look up, he is going at more than a run a ball and it is exceptionally good to watch, so to see him come out and be in this form and continue it is brilliant."

The England skipper is also hoping to shake off a back injury ahead of their their next game on Tuesday.

"Yeah, it's sore. I've had back spasms before. We think it is another back spasm. It normally takes a few days to settle down, so yeah.

"We'll know more in the next 24 hours, see how I pull up tomorrow."
