Joe Root is the first captain to score 150 in three consecutive innings in Test cricket over the last 84 years. Prior to Root, Don Bradman achieved this position in 1937. Root also became the world’s first batsman to score a double century in his 100th Test match. Root’s performance against Sri Lanka was also excellent and he scored a double century in the first Test. Thanks to Root’s innings, England have strengthened their hold on the match.
English captain Root said how much he wanted to score in the first innings
With three spin bowlers, the Indian team is down for the match, but all three spinners have so far failed to make any impact. Shahbaz Nadeem, who joined the squad after the departure of Axar Patel, failed to curb the run and England batsmen were playing him easily. At the same time, Ravichandran Ashnin and Washington Sundar have not yet appeared in rhythm. For India, Jaspreet Bumrah and Nadeem have taken maximum wickets, while Ashwin has shown the pavilion for two English batsmen.
