Joe Root Becomes England's Leading Run-Scorer

News summary

Joe Root has made history by surpassing Alastair Cook as England's leading Test run-scorer, achieving his 35th century during the first Test against Pakistan in Multan. Starting the day on 32 runs, Root quickly reached Cook's record of 12,472 by scoring 176 not out, leading England to 492-3 at stumps on day three. His remarkable innings included a partnership with Harry Brook, who contributed significantly with 141 not out. Root's performance is noted not only for its record-breaking significance but also for its execution in challenging conditions, as he battled cramps to maintain his momentum. Former captain Cook expressed confidence in Root's potential to challenge Sachin Tendulkar’s all-time record if he remains injury-free. With England in a strong position, they are poised to capitalize on their batting dominance to secure a crucial win against Pakistan.
