Can Joe Root break Sachin's Test record? Ollie Pope backs batter to chase down Tendulkar

England batter Ollie Pope has backed Joe Root to break Sachin Tendulkar's record of most Test runs. Root, who went up to the No. 2 spot in the list of most runs in the Test format on Friday, July 25, is only 2,662 runs away from the legendary Indian in the post-match press conference, Pope said that while Root was not someone for milestones, he would surely be hungry to reach the summit of this elite list. Root, on Friday, batted magnificently to take England to 544/7 at the end of Day 3. Root scored 150, the 38th century of his Test career, and passed Rahul Dravid, Jacques Kallis, and Ricky Ponting to become the 2nd highest run-getter of all not a massive one for milestones,' Pope said with a laugh. 'But that's a cool one - second most Test runs. I'm sure he was aware.'Pope also backed the batter to go past Sachin Tendulkar.'The way he's batting, I'm sure he'll be driven to be No. 1. He's got the hunger.'| Manchester Test Day 3 Scorecard |The Manchester Test match against India was the 157th of Root's career. This is the least number of matches played by a batter to reach a total of 13,000+ runs. Root averages 57.40 at the moment, the second best amongst the top 5 run-getters in the Test format. His average is only bettered by Ricky Ponting (58.72), who is now 3rd in the list of highest run-getters in the history of the the start of Covid-19, Root has been in exceptional form in Test cricket. Out of his 38 hundreds, 21 have come since March 2020. In this period, the batter has scored 5,810 runs in 65 Tests, towering over the rest of the batters in the world.

Bumrah benefits massively when theres support at other end, 4th Test slightly beyond India: Trott

New Delhi, Jul 26 (PTI) Former England cricketer Jonathan Trott observed that India pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah benefits massively when there is support at the other end but feels the ongoing fourth Test in Manchester is now "slightly beyond" the visitors. Down 1-2 in the five-match series, India trail England by 186 runs in at the end of Day 3 in the fourth Test. India endured arguably their worst day on the field on Day 3 of the Manchester Test as Joe Root's record-breaking 150 put the hosts in complete command. Despite having Bumrah available for what could be his last Test of the series as it was pre-decided that the right-arm pacer would play three of the five Tests on England tour, the Indian bowlers struggled to break through. "Bumrah's areas were pretty good, and his economy reflects that — he was just a bit unlucky. But the bigger issue is pressure from both ends," JioHotstar expert Trott said. "Bumrah benefits massively when there's support at the other end, and that wasn't the case today (Friday). When you're slightly under par as a bowling unit — like India were — control from both ends becomes crucial," he added. While Trott had some sympathy for the young India captain Shubman Gill on his first assignment as leader, he said the fourth Test is beyond India's control as they have fallen behind by a big margin. "Shubman Gill is on his first trip to England as a batter and has also been thrown into the deep end as captain — carrying immense responsibility," he said. "He fought well across the first three Tests, but this game feels slightly beyond India, considering the challenges and resources. India's bowling was hampered by Akash Deep's unavailability — he picked up 10 wickets in the last Test but missed out due to injury. "Anshul Kamboj came in, but struggled to rise to the demands of Test cricket. One area India could've improved is their bowling combination — seamers bowled nearly 82 overs for just three wickets, while spin got four wickets in just 52 overs. That's something they'll need to reassess," he added. Trott said Root has found a balance in the aggressive Bazball approach and conventional style of batting is working well for the England great. "Joe Root's method is just so solid, you don't see him shift gears dramatically. When Bazball first came in, he experimented a bit — ramping seamers, playing reverse scoops — but he's set that aside now," he said. "He's found a balanced approach, maybe carried over a few elements from that expansive phase, but overall, he sticks to what works best for him." Meanwhile, former batter Sanjay Manjrekar hoped India will not get bogged down under pressure and come out fighting. "India won't be thinking of a draw. They'll be hoping for the sun to be out so they can pile on runs and put pressure back on England. The surface is showing signs of uneven bounce, so it could get tricky," he said.
