Steven Smith didn't die for this

Biggest difference this test 5 Indian batters passed 40, none made it past 61 and they combined for 260 runs. 5 English batters have passed 40, the lowest score was 71 and they combined for 476 runs.

In terms of home games Kane has 486 runs at 32 in 8 home games vs India and Australia, 15% of home games Root has 3513 at 56.7 in 39 tests, 47% of his home tests.

Yes dear the new generation of boomers has arrived.

In terms of Root passing Sachin England have around 24 tests between now and the end of the 2027 ashes. Root will likely average between 75-90 per test, so at the end will likely have between 15,000-15,600 runs. So it really depends if he lasts past those Ashes.

First time a team has passed 600 in England since SA made 637/2d in 2012.
