Most runs in WTC history: Joe Root achieves new heights after 39th Test hundred at Oval against India

The fourth day of the ongoing fifth Test belonged to Joe Root and Harry Brook, whose centuries brought England on the brink of victory and also seal the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. Coming out to bat after the fall of Ben Duckett, Root and Harry Brook staged a great comeback with a 195-run stand to take the game away from the visitors while chasing 374.

During his stay in the middle, Root played 152 balls for his 105 runs which included 12 hits to the fence. At the time of his dismissal, England were 337/6, still needing less than 40 runs to win the game.

This was Root's third hundred in the series after the former England captain scored 104 and 150 at Lord's and Old Trafford in the third and fourth Tests respectively.
