Joe Root has been one of the most reliable batters in Test cricket in recent years and he continues to play a key role for England in the longest format. During the ongoing fourth Test match between India and England at Old Trafford in Manchester, Root made history on Friday (Jul 25) by becoming the first player to score 1000 Test runs at a particular venue (Old Trafford). Root reached this milestone in his 12th Test match at this ground and he completed this landmark in the 53rd over of England’s first innings. The 53rd over was bowled by Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah.

- Denis Compton (England) – 818 runs
- Mike Atherton (England) – 729 runs
- Alec Stewart (England) – 704 runs
- Leonard Hutton (England) – 701 runs
