Root is now within 1000 test runs of Cooks total. He must surely eclipse that by some way if he stays fit and hungry.
Cook - 12472
Root - 11599

He should, and he can. Needs to do Root things, not Stokes things.
Some stats for you fans of slow, incredibly dull, Boycott-esque batting:
- This was Root's slowest century in B*zball era.
- Of the 85 B*zball partnerships of 50+, this* was the 3rd slowest.
- Root scored no boundaries, and no runs on the leg-side.
[One of these stats may be a lie.]
*Root+Foakes I think.
Definitely the best English batsman I have seen. Also most of his runs began with England 30-3. Better than Ponting in my view but perhaps not quite Tendulkar.Joe Root is our greatest ever batsman imo. On a par with Ponting and a few others. He has time on his side to keep those runs coming to.
Blimey. England are in a very commanding position.
It would be nice to skittle the tail and have a 100 run lead.

Yes, but their two guys have got in now, so I'm praying it IS 100+ ! :-P
Are the highlights anywhere on the box?
