Joe Root became just the second England batter to score 10,000 Test runs during a match-winning hundred against New Zealand at Lord's on Sunday. The 31-year-old's typically composed 115 not out took England, who had been faltering at 69 for four, to a target of 277 and a five-wicket victory over the reigning World Test Championship winners with more than a day to spare. Root is often considered among modern cricket's "Big Four" batters together with Australia's Steve Smith, India's Virat Kohli and Kane Williamson, the current captain of New Zealand.
