By AFP News September 01, 2024 • 08:15 AM View: 980

Joe Root was adamant he had a "lot more to contribute" after his record-breaking 34th Test century took England nearer to a series victory over Sri Lanka at Lord's.

Root equalled retired England opener Alastair Cook's national record earlier this week but the 33-year-old Yorkshireman is now out in front after scoring centuries in both innings for the first time in his 145-Test career.
