England's Joe Root achieved his 37th Test century during the second day of the third Test match against India at Lord's, marking his eighth century at the historic venue—the highest by any international batter there. This century also represents Root's 11th against India, equaling Steve Smith's record for most Test hundreds against the Indian team and surpassing Rahul Dravid and Smith, who each had 36 Test centuries. Additionally, Root set a new world record for the most catches by a non-wicketkeeper in Test cricket, overtaking Rahul Dravid's previous mark. On the third day, India's KL Rahul scored his 10th Test century and second at Lord's, becoming only the second Indian batter after Dilip Vengsarkar to achieve multiple centuries at the ground. The match continues to showcase a competitive contest between England and India at Lord's as part of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy and the World Test Championship 2027.
