After being dismissed for 66, Rootโs international aggregate stands at 22,899 runs from 458 dismissals, leaving his career average at 49.9978.
A remarkable statistical twist that sees the England great fall just one run short of an unusually perfect milestone.
[Note: The equation for Rootโs next innings is wonderfully simple โ 1 run without being dismissed is enough to take his average to 50.00. If he is dismissed, he needs 51 runs]
