Joe Root: England batter Joe Root became the first English batter and only the fourth in the world to record 100 scores of fifty or more in Test cricket. Root achieved this remarkable feat during the second Test against New Zealand at the Basin Reserve.
Playing in his 151st Test match, Root reached the milestone with his 65th half-century in 76 deliveries during the third session of the second day’s play. The 33-year-old, who is currently ranked as World No. 1 Test batter, now boasts a record of 35 centuries and 65 fifties in 276 innings, accumulating a staggering total of over 13,000 Test runs.
Root’s achievement places him alongside cricketing greats Sachin Tendulkar, Jacques Kallis and Ricky Ponting in the elusive list of batters who have crossed the 100 50+ scores in Test cricket.
