Multan: Joe Root has become England's highest test run-scorer on the third day of the first cricket test against Pakistan on Wednesday.
Root surpassed Alastair Cook’s 12,472 runs with a straight-driven boundary to reach 71 on a wicket still well suited for batters. He survived an lbw television referral before reaching the milestone.
Root is now fifth on the all-time list of test run-scorers behind Sachin Tendulkar's leading 15,921.
