MULTAN, India (AP) – 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.

I earn more than $180 per hour working from home with two children. I never thought I’d be able to do it, but my best friend makes over $19,000 per month doing it and convinced me to give it a shot. The possibilities are limitless…, For more information, please see the website listed below…
