England's Joe Root is the complete modern cricketer

England's 330-run win over Pakistan in the second Test @ Old Trafford was mightily impressive. Joe Root's performance was even better.

Joe Root  scored 254 and 71 not out, took four catches and even claimed a wicket in his only over as England wrapped up victory with a day to spare to level the series. He can do no wrong.

Alastair Cook and Joe Root scored a combined 506 runs in four innings in the second Test. The rest of the top five contributed 75.
