Joe Root out for duck in 150th Test, goes past Virat Kohli on unwanted WTC list

India Today  

Star England batter Joe Root endured a bitter milestone in his storied career during the first Test against New Zealand at Hagley Oval. However, a resilient 103-run stand between Ollie Pope and Harry Brook brought some stability, with England reaching 174/4 at tea, still 174 runs behind New Zealand's first-innings total of 348. New Zealand vs England, 1st Test Day 2: Live Updates Root's duck in his milestone 150th Test match places him in an exclusive yet undesirable club, joining Australian legends Steve Waugh and Ricky Ponting as the only batters to record ducks in their 150th Test appearances. Players Out for Duck in Their 150th Test Match: Steve Waugh – 1st ball Ricky Ponting – 1st ball Joe Root – 4th ball Earlier in the day, England dismissed New Zealand for 348, with Glenn Phillips anchoring the tail after Kane Williamson's composed 120 on Day 1. Harry Brook and Ollie Pope's counterattacking 150-plus partnership provided hope, but England's task remains daunting with a significant deficit to overcome and New Zealand's pace attack firing on all cylinders.
