Joe Root made a fighting 40 during the second innings of the third Test between India and England. Root has achieved a couple of major milestones during his knock, continuing to stamp his authority in Test cricket.

Team India's spin-bowling all-rounder Washington Sundar got the crucial wicket of Joe Root on Sunday. He knocked over the star batter for 40 on day four of the third Test against England at the Lord's Cricket Ground. The right-handed batter got slightly funky and paid the price for it as Sundar's delivery knocked over the leg stump.

Former England captain Joe Root became only the fourth batter after Sachin Tendulkar, Mahela Jayawardene, and Jacques Kallis to complete 8000 Test runs while batting at No.4.
