India vs England: Joe Root Joins Elite Company With 737 Runs In Test Series
Joe Root has joined a select group of England players after making 737 runs in England's drawn Test series against India. The former England captain rounded off the campaign with a majestic 142 not out as, alongside Yorkshire team-mate Jonny Bairstow (114 not out), he guided England to their highest fourth-innings winning chase of 378-3 during a seven-wicket victory in the Covid-delayed fifth Test at Edgbaston on Tuesday. The win saw England level the five-match series at 2-2. Only four other England batsmen have scored more runs in a series during the 145-year history of Test cricket than Root's tally in this campaign.
