Joe Root Eyes Record in Pakistan Test Series
Joe Root is set to play in a three-match Test series against Pakistan starting October 7 in Multan, with the goal of surpassing Alastair Cook's record of 12,472 runs for England. Currently, Root requires just 71 runs to achieve this milestone, which would also place him fifth on the all-time Test run-scorers list. Additionally, he aims to become the first player to score 5,000 runs in the World Test Championship, needing just 27 more runs to reach that mark. Root's impressive form includes 986 runs in 11 Tests this year and 34 centuries overall, half of which were scored since 2020. The series presents challenges, particularly due to high temperatures in Multan, which could affect pitch conditions. Pakistan's vice-captain Saud Shakeel indicated that their strategy will focus on capitalizing on England's aggressive playing style to force mistakes.
