Cricket World Cup League: Former England captain Joe Root is back in the top three of the ICC Men’s Test Batting Rankings, while India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal has advanced to 12th place in the same list.

Root, a former top-ranked batter, struck an unbeaten 122 in the first innings to move up two places to third position, apart from moving up three spots to fourth place amongst all-rounders. Left-handed Jaiswal, who started the series in 69th position, has risen three places to 12th after scores of 73 and 37.
