Joe Root scored his first Test century in Australia during the second Ashes Test at Brisbane's Gabba, ending his long-standing century drought in the country. The 34-year-old Yorkshire batsman reached his 40th Test century off 181 balls, rescuing England from a precarious 5-2 position. This milestone achievement helps cement Root's legacy as a modern cricket great and brings his total to 40 Test centuries.
