India vs England 1st Test: Joe Root becomes 10th batsman to achieve MASSIVE record in 100th Test

The century on Friday was Root’s 20th in Test cricket and his third consecutive one in the longest format after back-to-back hundreds in two Tests against Sri Lanka last month. Root becomes the third Englishman after Colin Cowdrey (104 vs Australia in 1968) and Alec Stewart (105 vs West Indies in 2000) to achieve this feat.
