It was just his class from ball one. He played the quite comfortably," he added.Root has now 8935 runs under his belt and is only behind former England skipper Alastair Cook, who has scored 12472 runs in Tests.Root is batting steadily on 48* as hosts went to stumps at 119/3 on Friday evening here.Earlier in the day, India were bowled out for 264 after the visitors scored 88 runs and lost seven wickets on Friday.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
