England have made 10 century partnerships in Tests this year, and Joe Root has been involved in 8 of them. The England skipper stitched together a 100-run stand with Dawid Malan to wrest back the momentum and help England stage a comeback in the contest. It was the second time Malan and Root were involved in a century partnership, the first instance being earlier this year at Headingley, a Test England went on to win. However, there’s still a long way to go as still the tourists are 117 runs behind.
