The Three Lions have been under huge pressure as they are winless in their last three series, against Australia (loss), India (draw) and New Zealand (loss). The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) sacked Brendon McCullum from the Test head coach role following the 1-2 loss against the Kiwis at home, and Ben Stokes also retired from international cricket following the series.
In the over, Archer completely deceived Azan Awais, as he bounced a ball which the batter thought he could glance on the leg-side; however, the plan was set for the very shot as they kept a leg-slip in place, and the batter got an inside edge instead, and went straight to Root at leg slip. Awais departed for 9 runs, leaving both Pakistan openers back in the pavilion.
Joe Root achieves new milestone on Day 2
The England captain also became the first captain to complete 3,000 runs in the World Test Championship (WTC) history. He achieved the record on Day 2 of the ongoing Test match as he was unbeaten on the score of 37 after rain-interrupted play, and in the second session he achieved the milestone.
Will anyone surpass Joe Root?
Joe Root is now clear at the top of the WTC run-scoring charts for captains. Stokes, who has retired, is second on the list with 2,182 runs, followed by former Sri Lanka captain Dimuth Karunaratne on 2,160. West Indies skipper Kraigg Brathwaite has 1,994 runs, while Pakistan's Babar Azam has 1,918.
In the same match, the 35-year-old missed achieving a rare milestone of a 50.00 overall international batting average by just a single run. Needing 67 runs in his innings to reach the mark, he was dismissed for 66, leaving his combined international average at 49.99.
