England's Joe Root became just the 14th batsman to score 10,000 Test runs when he reached the landmark during his match-winning 115 not out in a five-wicket victory against New Zealand at Lord's on Sunday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Root, however, still has some way to go if he is to top India hero Sachin Tendulkar's all-time record of 15,921 Test runs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

But the 31-year-old Root is the only batsman among this select group of run-scorers to still be playing Test cricket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
