4th Test: Root Goes Past Ponting, Hits 121 Not Out As England Take Lead Over Shaky India
Tendulkar Trophy Test: With the precision of a surgeon and the composure of an artist, Joe Root overtook Jacques Kallis, Rahul Dravid and Ricky Ponting to be at second place in all-time Test run-scorers' list by hitting 121 not out as England entered into taking the all-important lead against India on day three of fourth Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test at Old Trafford on Friday.
With his 38th Test century coming off 178 balls, Root is now equal with Kumar Sangakkara, with only Tendulkar, Ponting and Kallis ahead of him in terms of all-time century scorers in Tests. Amidst Root climbing new milestones, it was a session where England amassed 101 runs for the loss of two wickets to be at 433/4 in 102 overs and take a 75-run lead over a shaky India.
It wasn’t ideal for India that Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj had to go off the field at times due to ankle concerns, though the former did come back to the field. Washington Sundar struck after the lunch break as Ollie Pope looked to guide the spinner through the leg-side, but got a thick edge behind and KL Rahul took a good catch at slip to dismiss the batter for 71, thus ending his 144-run stand with Root.
