Joe Root still has some way to go to reach Sachin Tendulkar's mind-blowing all-time total, yet the Englishman continues to make steady headway up the list of all-time Test run scorers.
The 33-year-old concluded what has been a productive series against West Indies with an 87 on Saturday that helped swing the game in England's favour.
Root was denied the opportunity to get further runs on the board during the second innings at Edgbaston as England raced towards their target of 82.
Nevertheless, the Yorkshireman is now up to seventh place in the rankings, having moved past as many as three players across the three-match series.
Although he is still over 1,000 runs from cracking the top five, the next two names will be in his sights when England face Sri Lanka and Pakistan later in 2024.
Sports Mole now challenges you to name the other run scorers in the history of Test cricket.
