Morgan, however, did give credit to Pakistan for their victory, especially their bowlers.
Looking to cut the ball, Root nicked it to wicketkeeper Sarfraz, as England were reduced to 128 for three.
"We just motivated the guys - "don't worry about the India match, it's gone. if we play good cricket, definitely we will win this tournament".

All-rounder Ben Stokes tried to steer the team to as respectable a score as he could, but he fell for 34 with 2.2 overs remaining, a period of the game where England could have done with some of his trademark lusty blows to the boundary. "So it was a big challenge and one that was too far for us", said the southpaw.
He added: "The fact we've produced brilliant performances in this tournament and then play like that on this wicket is extremely disappointing".
While England had toiled in the Cardiff heat on a dusty and old pitch, Pakistan made the batting look easy, seeing out the victory with complete comfort, highlighting both England's struggles with the bat and Pakistan's brilliance with the ball.
Kohli has scored 157 runs in 3 innings in the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy with scores of 81 not out and 76 not out vs. Pakistan and South Africa respectively.
"We have come a long way in the last two years and yes, we would like to win every game we play".
United States airport stabbing attack treated as act of terror
In response to the stabbing, Flint police were stationed around the City Hall but the building remained open for business. US officials, who have questioned Ftouhi, now believe he acted alone and was not part of a larger plot, Gelios said.
India play Bangladesh on Thursday at Edgbaston in the other semifinal match with India the clear favorites - but so were England.
"Coming from Edgbaston which was a good wicket to a used wicket, we didn't adapt very well", Morgan told Sky Sports.
In contrast, Pakistan thrived on a pitch - controlled by the International Cricket Council - which offered very little pace or bounce as they ruthlessly dispatched tournament favourites England with 77 balls to spare.
That appeared a paltry return for a team accustomed to a benchmark of at least 100 more of late, but in the circumstances Pakistan would still need to bat as well as they bowled to seal the deal.
"We've played some really good cricket throughout the whole of this summer, and it was frustrating not being able to do it (this time)".
"I felt like we were trying to take a positive option against them, but obviously, given the conditions, it didn't allow is to do that".
"Once that ball started reversing, credit to Pakistan, they put it in very good areas and made it very hard to build new partnerships once we lost a couple of wickets".
Although Azhar was bowled by Jake Ball, Babar and Mohammad Hafeez accelerated towards the finish line.
"Because if we change that, we'll change our possibility of scoring 400-plus which we are more than capable of doing". They were also the only team unbeaten in the competition. We'll assess what we could have done better and go again. It is something they appreciate more than most after a 2009 terror attack on Sri Lanka's team bus in Lahore turned Pakistan into a "no-go area" for the world's top teams, with the United Arab Emirates now their adopted "home".
