In-form England captain Joe Root's rendezvous with India continues as he now has aggregated 1,679 runs in 17 matches, and Tuesday's 227-run win in the first Test was the perfect icing on the cake. He made his Test debut in India 2012 and so far he has scored 842 runs in seven matches in this country.

On Saturday, 30-year-old Root completed his fifth double century, extending his roaring form from Sri Lanka to India. His knock laid the foundation of England's well-deserved, massive 227-run win at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
