I'd have preferred Willey in the squad.
He can bat and Root's a decent bowler if we need another spin option.
Those two fresh air shots just before he got out were simply embarrassing .

Buttler needed to remain at the crease and unfortunately he got out when he did , it was always going to be tough once he went .
