Joe Root underlined the talent that had long seemed obvious from early in his career when he became just the second England batsman to score 10,000 Test runs during a match-winning hundred against New Zealand at Lord's on Sunday. The 31-year-old Yorkshireman'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 World Test champions with more than a day to spare.
Nasser Hussain believes England's five-wicket win over New Zealand in the first LV= Insurance Test at Lord's is 'huge' and 'absolutely vital' for new captain and head coach combo, Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum.
Joe Root said his time as England captain had ended in an "unhealthy relationship" after marking his return to the ranks with a match-winning hundred against New Zealand at Lord's.
Joe Root has become just the 14th player to score 10,000 Test runs.
Joe Root said his time as England captain had ended in an "unhealthy relationship" after marking his return to the ranks with a match-winning hundred against New Zealand at Lord's. Root led England in a record 64 Tests spanning five years before resigning as skipper in April following a run of just one win in 17 Tests.
Joe Root scored his 26th Test century to take England over the line against New Zealand in the first Test at Lord's on Sunday. With England in trouble at 69/4 in their chase of 277 at one point, Root first put on a 90-run stand with Ben Stokes and then a partnership of 120 runs with Ben Foakes to lead England to a 5-wicket win. Congress leader P Chidambaram hailed Root and Foakes for seeing New Zealand bowlers off on Day 4 and taking their team to a win.
Joe Root was hailed as England's "Mr Dependable" by new captain Ben Stokes after his predecessor's unbeaten century helped launch the all-rounder's reign with a five-wicket win over New Zealand in the first Test at Lord's on Sunday. Root made 115 not out as England chased down a target of 277 with wicketkeeper Ben Foakes (32 not out) providing excellent support in an unbroken partnership of 120. Victory, achieved with more than a day to spare, saw England to just their second win in 18 Tests.
