The star of England, Joe Root, on Thursday (May 22), guided the story when he became the first player in England to mark 13,000 test tests. The Batsman on the right won the feat on the first day of the four -day test between England and Zimbabwe in Bridge Trent, Nottingham.
Joe Root needed 28 runs to reach the milestone and got the feat, taking a single installment from the first delivery of 80 above Victor Nyauchi. The former Captain of England became not only the first player in England to get the feat, but also reached 13,000 testing tests in terms of matches.
Your daily dose of cricket!

Joe Root fails to score Big but England is in progress to publish a huge total
While Joe Root created the story on the day of opening of the ongoing test, it could not turn its start into a great score. The battle star left after scoring 34 outings of 44 balls. He was fired for Muzarabani’s blessing.
Although Root did not get a big score, England finished the day with a total of 498/3. Of the three players in England who were fired on the opening day, Root was the only one who could not mark a century.
Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett gave the hosts a good start by adding 231 wick. The collaboration ended when Duckett left after marking 140 currents of 134 balls. It was followed by another big stand, while Crawley and Ollie Pope added 137 runs for the second Wicket.
Sikandar Raza broke the running position Crawley for 124 rolls. After Duckett and Crawley, Pope also completed his century and was unbeaten in 169 in Stumpps. Harry Brook (9) was the other unbeaten Batsman.
