Joe Root made a fighting 40 during the second innings of the third Test between India and England. Root has achieved a couple of major milestones during his knock, continuing to stamp his authority in Test cricket.

Former England captain Joe Root became only the fourth batter after Sachin Tendulkar, Mahela Jayawardene, and Jacques Kallis to complete 8000 Test runs while batting at No.4.

In a tense moment during the 38th over of England’s second innings in the ongoing third Test at Lord’s, Mohammed Siraj thought he had trapped Joe Root plumb in front, only for technology and umpire’s call to deny him the wicket.
