ENG V WI: Joe Root Becomes Second-youngest Batter To Complete 12,000 Test Runs
Joshua Da Silva: England's Joe Root became the second-youngest cricketer to cross the elusive milestone of 12,000 Test runs. He achieved the feat in the ongoing third and final Test against West Indies at Edgbaston on Saturday.
The right-handed batter, regarded as one of the best Test players of his generation, is only the seventh player in history to reach the milestone and only the second English player after Alastair Cook, who was the youngest player to reach the landmark. During the process, he also surpassed Brian Lara's (11,953) Test runs to become the seventh-highest run-getter in Test history.
Root breached the 12,000-run mark on Day 2 of the match during England's first innings. He along with skipper Ben Stokes rescued England after the team found themselves reeling at 54/5 in the first session of the play.
