Joe Root Equals Sachin Tendulkar's Record for Most Test Fifties

Joe Root made history at Headingley by scoring 66 runs against Pakistan, drawing level with Sachin Tendulkar's all-time record for the most fifties scored in Test cricket.

The innings was a statistical milestone for the English batter, who now sits just one run short of maintaining a perfect 50 international batting average across all formats.
