(Reuters) - Joe Root has thrown his support behind white-ball captain Jos Buttler despite England's shaky start to the Champions Trophy, describing him as a "brilliant leader" who has the support of the entire dressing room.
England lost their opening game to Australia by five wickets on Saturday after setting the 50-overs world champions a target of 352 but former test skipper Root said Buttler was doing everything a good captain should.
