Joe Root frustrated India’s bowlers on Day 3 of the second Test at Lord’s. Having notched up his 22nd hundred in the longer version of the game, the England skipper went past 150 in the last session of play, looking in complete control of proceedings.
Praising Joe Root for yet another brilliant knock, Laxman said on ESPN Cricinfo:

Until a couple of years back, critics opined that Joe Root was not in the same league as some of the best batters of the modern era since he wasn’t getting the big scores. However, over the last few months, the English skipper has raised his game significantly.
According to Laxman, Joe Root is right up there with the very best in the business. He stated about the prolific batter:
During the course of his magnificent hundred at Lord’s, Joe Root became only the second England batter after Alastair Cook to cross 9000 runs in Test cricket.
