    This is Joe Root's 13th score of 150+ in Test cricket.

    That puts him in the top 10 of all time.

    Sachin Tendulkar leads the way with 20 scores of 150+.

    Matt: We are watching greatness.

    Jay: Root is the Cristiano Ronaldo of Test cricket.

    I'm not sure if I've seen Root play any better than this.

    Joe Root picks up a couple more with a back-foot punch through the covers for a couple.

    He'll be eyeing up a double ton tomorrow morning. Maybe even a triple...

    Come on, Tuffers. You'd be on board with that.

    Everyone's taking their shoes off and waving their shoes about. I wouldn't want to be in that stand!

    The Trent Bridge crowd are now basically serenading Joe Root.

    I'm sorry but if you're Tim Southee right now, you're saying I'll have my cap and my sweater and I'm heading off.

    That is an immaculate shot.

    To use the footballing analogy, he is 'playing like a Rolls-Royce.' A well-oiled one too.

    Oh my days.

    Joseph Edward Root that is ridiculous.

    A foot or so outside off stump and the former England skipper whips a straight drive back through mid-off. It absolutely flew. He timed the absolute pants off it.

    Three boundaries from the over.

    A brilliant innings played by a man who is just in outstanding form. Full of just beautiful, silky timing.

    Once again, his teammates are out on the balcony, smiling and applauding.

  13. Eng 456-5published at 107.3 overs

    While applauding Joe Root on the balcony there Ben Stokes was shaking his head as if to say "this man is ridiculous".

    He then turns round to someone and I assume utters "how?"

    150 for Rootpublished at 107.3 overs

    Another day, another Joe Root landmark.

    What form this man is in.

    An absolutely gorgeous flick through mid-wicket, again to the boundary, brings up his 150.

    It's the 13th time he's passed the landmark. England's greatest.

    I'm afraid Southee is getting a bit of a spanking here.

    Terrific shot from Root, just extended the arms and reached it with his bottom hand. Almost like a tennis right-hand top-spin.

    That bottom hand really came through to control the shot.

  16. Eng 451-5published at 107.1 overs

    Trail by 102

    Roooootttt shout the Trent Bridge crowd.

    Too much width from Tim Southee and Joe Root extends his arms and guides another drive to the boundary.

    He's scored 30 through the cover region now and another 23 down the ground/point. It's a shot he loves.

    Ben Foakes really shouldn't still be out there...

    A maiden from Michael Bracewell.

    Jack Leach might be licking his lips in the England changing room.

    Tim Southee has now bowled 50 overs without a wicket after picking up four wickets in the first innings at Lord's.

  20. Eng 447-5published at 106 overs

    Trail by 106

    A very good over for England.

    Ben Foakes whips one to the mid-wicket boundary before steering one round the corner.

    The over ends with Joe Root tickling one round the corner. Too easy.

    Root is up to 143 by the way. Another landmark looms into focus.
