England batter Joe Root smashed his 32nd Test ton on Sunday as England squared off against West Indies on day 4 of the ongoing Nottingham Test.
Resuming his innings on 37 in the morning, he scored 122 off 178 balls before losing his wicket to all-rounder Jason Holder.
This was his 6th ton against the West Indies National Cricket Team, that he smashed at the Trent Bridge Cricket Ground.
With that, he equalled the tallies of New Zealand captain Kane Williamson and former Australia skipper Steve Smith.
Root also featured in a game-changing 189-run partnership with Brook, as the hosts piled up 425 runs in their second innings.
He is just a ton away from matching his former teammate Sir Alastair Cook, who retired back in 2018 with 33 Test centuries.
While Root is now one of the three active cricketers with the most Test hundreds, Virat Kohli is next in the fray with 29 tons.
