Well done.

Root finally gets one. Can get out now.

[putrevus]

Brook is more slogger than batsman. Awful shot today.

 

Root scoring 100 , clearing the blemish on his record.

[Stan AF]

40th 100

 

Only ponting (41), kallis 45 & Tendulkar 51 ahead.

Tendulkar scored 12 centuries after turning 35, while dealing with tennis elbow. Root will turn 35 by the end of this month, and he hasn't had any injury scares till date. Unless some drastic loss of form happens, he is a sure shot to cross as of now

His technique just like Sachin is very simple yet great not many moving parts there to loose form.
