Root Makes History with Record Fourth-Innings Runs and Edgbaston Milestone

Joe Root has etched his name further into the annals of Test cricket history by becoming the first batter ever to score 2,000 runs in the fourth innings of a match. This remarkable achievement was underscored by his unbeaten 62, which guided England to a victory against Pakistan.

Adding to his historic day, Root also became the first player to accumulate 1,000 Test runs at the iconic Edgbaston ground. His sixty-ninth Test fifty in this match places him ahead of cricketing legend Sachin Tendulkar in the record books, highlighting his enduring class and ability to perform under pressure.
