Joe Root equals Sachin Tendulkar’s record for most fifties in Test cricket

Joe Root equaled Sachin Tendulkar's record of 68 half-centuries in Test cricket during England's first Test against Pakistan at Headingley. Root partnered with Cox to help England secure a first-innings lead after Robinson and Tongue each took five wickets to bowl Pakistan out for 171. The milestone cements Root's place among the greatest Test batsmen in history.
