Joe Root's Milestone and India's Struggles in Manchester Test
In a cricket match between England and India, England's Joe Root did very well and scored a lot of runs, making him the second-highest run-scorer ever.
England scored a lot of runs in their turn to bat.
India did not perform well and let England score a lot of runs, which hasn't happened in a while.
Now, the question is whether Root can score enough runs to beat Sachin Tendulkar's all-time record, although it may be difficult due to Root's age.
Joe Root surpassed Ricky Ponting to become the second-highest run-scorer in Test cricket.
India conceded a total of 500+ runs away from home for the first time since 2015.
Root scored a century in the fourth Test against India in Manchester.
England scored 544/7 in response to India's first innings score of 358.
Root is now only behind Sachin Tendulkar in the list of all-time highest run-getters.
