Joe Root Sets England Record With 34th Test Century
Root's remarkable achievement came when he reached three figures for the second time in the match, following up his first-innings score of 143 with a century on the third day. Root, who had equaled the previous England record of 33 hundreds held by the legendary Alastair Cook in the first innings, surpassed his predecessor when he cut Lahiru Kumara for his 10th four after facing 111 balls. With the mark coming from 111 balls, it was also Root's fastest Test century.
