JOE ROOT’S insatiable appetite for runs has left even his fellow ‘Fab Four’ member Kane Williamson in awe.

The pair, plus Steve Smith and Virat Kohli, have lived up to their tag after being touted as future greats by former New Zealand batter Martin Crowe in 2014.

Root, 34, shows no signs of slowing, with 22 hundreds in his past 61 Tests. The England star is now up to second on the list of all-time leading run-scorers in the format, 2,378 behind Sachin Tendulkar.
