With this click, Root has now scored 500 or more runs in the test series against India for the third time – most of the player in history. The list will be a list that includes giants like Everton Weekes, Ricky Ponting, Garry Sobers and Youenis Khan, all of whom have done it twice. It is a record that speaks of the root consistency and hunger against the highest opposition.

What will be the result of the test match in the oval?
Root also reached another important milestone during these shifts-it was his 57. Fifty fifty plus scores in the tests at home, which made him a second in history together with Jacques Kallis and Mahela JayaWardene. Only Ricky Ponting is ahead of you, with 61 such scores in Australia. At the beginning of the day of India, Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope soon hit the goals. Duckett was released by Prasidh Krishna for 54 years, while the Pope fell to a sharp Chuchor from Siri to 27. The root then entered to anchor the shifts and continue his rich vein in this series of high stations.
