By Saurabh Sharma December 02, 2019 • 11:46 AM View: 1170

Hamilton, Dec 2: England captain Joe Root on Monday became the first skipper of a visiting team to score a double hundred in Test cricket in New Zealand.

On the fourth day of the second and final Test at the Seddon Park, Root played a brilliant knock of 226 against the Black Caps. He reached the 200-run milestone with a risky single with batting partner Ollie Pope slow off the mark and only keeping his wicket when the New Zealand throw at the stumps went wide.
