This is Root's 27th century in Tests - on par with India's Virat Kohli and Australia's Steve Smith.

The former England captain is at the moment the world's most in-form batsman in Test cricket.

This was Root's fourth century in his last five test matches - second since giving up captaincy.

This innings also took Root past Sunil Gavaskar, and he is now the 12th highest run-getter in Tests.

This ton is fifth in his last nine innings on home soil, and his 10th since the start of 2021.

And Virat Kohli, much to the chagrin of Indian fans, hasn't scored a Test ton since Nov 2019.

Will Root leave the other two well behind? Going by current form, many would surely believe that.
