On day 3, in the fourth innings of the fourth Test at Old Trafford, Joe Root accidentally smacked Mohammed Siraj's wristbandwith his bat while stealing a run. This happened in the 52nd ball, when a ball from Siraj hit his pads. While Siraj turned to the umpire appealing, Root tried to sneak past his arms when he banged his wrist with the bat and broke the band. Siraj somehow had managed to convince his captain, Shubman Gill, to go for an LBW DRS. But Root survived the appeal. As Nasser Hussain was heard saying while doing commentary, "Lost appeal, and lost watch as well."

That's a wristband from a company named WHOOP, that tracks fitness. It's a screenless wristband, first worn by NBA players and then gradually spread to other sports and cricket too. These bands are not naturally bought by the individuals but are mainly subscribed to. That it, the concerned athlete pays a particular amount to the company to let him/her wear it. These bands are normally worn to avoid watches that are potential weapons of match fixing, as believed by many. Notably, Joe Root etched his name deeper into Test cricket history on Day 3 of the fourth Test against India by becoming the second-highest run-scorer in the format. His unbeaten 150 in England’s first innings saw him surpass Rahul Dravid, Jacques Kallis, and Ricky Ponting to move from fifth to second on the all-time list. This century was also Root’s 38th in Tests, placing him alongside Kumar Sangakkara in that tally. Only Tendulkar, Kallis, and Ponting now sit above him in terms of centuries. Jonathan Trott observed that Root has refined his game over time, blending aggression with consistency.
