England Batters Close In On Joe Root In Test Rankings
England veteran Joe Root remains in the No.1 spot on the updated rankings for Test batters, but teammate Harry Brook has closed the gap on him to just 15 rating points following his quickfire innings of 58 in the one-off Test against Zimbabwe in Nottingham.
Root (888 rating points) managed innings of 34 in the same match to maintain his slender advantage at the top, though Brook (873), Kane Williamson (867), Yashasvi Jaiswal (847) and Steve Smith (823) all remain within touch ahead of a busy upcoming period of Test cricket, the ICC said in a report on its official website.
