Bumrah to Root, FOUR, he had to wait for this moment longer than he would've liked, but he gets the job done straightaway today. The cry of "Roooooooooooooooot" echoes around Lord's as he goes past Rahul Dravid and Steve Smith to raise his 37th Test hundred. Can see how much it means to him as he leaps and punches the air before kissing the badge on his helmet. Streaky shot to get there though. Full ball swinging away outside off, he goes eagerly for the drive and it flies off a thick edge past gully
