It's a testament to his remarkable consistency and class throughout the years. Most impressive, though, was not the record as much as the way he responded calm, collected, and typical Root. No drama, only a languid smile and a light-hearted welcome, demonstrating again why he's one of cricket's most revered and unflappable characters in the contemporary game. Root slams 38th Test ton, stays unbeaten on 116 Joe Root scored his 38th Test century in manner of legend with a soft stroke over fine leg. While the crowd at Old Trafford rose and yelled his name, Root merely removed his helmet and grinned a celebration as serene as his knock. He endured challenging conditions, cheated death by a whisker when he was nearly run out, and dealt with pace and spin with immaculate control. In spite of the trouble, he seemed unflustered and composed all the while. What adds to the significance of this innings is that he's still on the field, unbeaten on 116*, and as solid as can be. With this innings, Root not only surpassed Jacques Kallis to become the third-highest run getter in Test cricket but also drew closer to Ricky Ponting's total. It was a source of pride for English cricket and another reminder of the reason Root is rightly one of the greats of the game.
