Thriving under the new era of 'Bazball' attacking cricket, former england captain Joe Root came out all guns blazing after he scripted a new record en route his 55-ball-46 in the second innings. 

Root, who made an unbeaten 118 in England's first innings 393-8 declared, was stumped by Alex Carey, helping England forge a lead of 136 runs, as the scoreboard displayed 129-4 in the second innings. He has now amassed over 11,000 runs from 131 Test matches and surpassed the likes of Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli in the list of most runs scored by a batsman before being stumped out for the first time in Tests. With 11168 runs being accumulated before getting stumped out, Root stands second on the list and is only behind West Indies' former Shivnarine Chanderpaul.
