Joe Root reflected on breaking Ricky Ponting's record and getting close to Tendulkar in the list of most runs in Test cricket, and said that his main focus is to win the games for England.

The Yorkshireman surpassed Ricky Ponting’s tally of 13,378 runs on Friday, day three of the fourth Test against India, and now sits at 13,409 runs from 157 Tests -- behind only Tendulkar’s towering 15,921. Root made his Test debut in the 2012 Nagpur Test, a series that marked the twilight of Tendulkar’s career.

England fourth Test being played at Old Trafford in Manchester, England's star batsman Joe Root set a big record. Root surpassed Rahul Dravid and Jacques Kallis to become the third-highest run scorer in Test cricket.
