Joe Root hit a magnificent hundred on day three of the fourth Test between England and India at Emirates Old Trafford, moving him into second on the all-time leading run-scorers list in Test cricket.Starting the day 11 not out, and fifth on the list, Root pushed past Rahul Dravid when progressing his score to 30 and then Jacques Kallis soon after on 31, leaving him with Ricky Ponting next in his sights – and a score of 120 required.
