Also at lords, he became one ofjust14 players to pass 10,000 test runs. Now, an England Record 34th test hundred came this summer, surpassing the previous best of sir alastair cook. And finally, he now stands alone as englands most prolific test batter, ending day three in multan on 12,578 runs. Now at 33 years of age, root is now fifth on the all time run scorers list. He is 3,348 runs behind The Indian Legend sachin tendulkar, who is top of the pile there. So after passing that English Record with an impressive knock, how was he feeling . Tired, more than anything. Its been a long day. But, yeah, obviously proud, but still feel theres plenty more left to do, um, and many more runs to get.

We used the pitch, we took the Scoreboard
