Joe Root played an amazing innings

Talking about Joe Root, this player has done wonders. Root scored 262 runs in 375 balls in the first innings against Pakistan. 17 fours came off his bat. Not only this, he made a partnership of 454 runs with Harry Brook. This is the biggest partnership for England in Test cricket.

Joe Root's amazing work

This double century of Joe Root against Pakistan is very special. He is actually the first non-Asian batsman to score double centuries in Pakistan, Sri Lanka and India. Root is called a run-scoring batsman in England but this player has an average of more than 50 in South Africa, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, UAE, West Indies and Pakistan. Whereas in India he scores runs at an average of more than 45.
