PAK vs ENG: Joe Root, a former captain of England, became just the third player in history to score 10,000 runs and 50 wickets in Test cricket. He achieved the feat during the ongoing second Test against Pakistan in Multan. At the Multan Cricket Stadium, Root reached the milestone when he struck out Faheem Ashraf in Pakistan’s second innings. It was a tossed-up delivery from the off-spinner and Faheem tried to push at it. The ball turned very little to take the batter’s edge and presented a simple catch to Zak Crawley at slips.
