During Day 2 of the third Test between England and India at Lord’s, Joe Root notched his 37th Test century—surpassing both Rahul Dravid and Steve Smith in career tons—by guiding the first ball of play from Jasprit Bumrah to the boundary, continuing overnight from 99* . His masterful knock placed him among the top five century-makers in Test history and further solidified his reputation as Lord’s greatest, recording his eighth century at the ground and becoming England’s highest-ever run scorer there . India’s Jasprit Bumrah delivered a devastating spell, removing Root, Stokes, and Woakes, taking five wickets in total, while Jamie Smith and Brydon Carse steadied the innings with a gritty partnership.
