Jubilant England fans celebrated on Sunday as Joe Root's latest Test century drove England to victory against New Zealand.

Root, whose unbeaten 115 from 170 balls included 12 fours, passed 10,000 test runs as he ran a quick two with a flick into the leg side, and he celebrated by raising his bat to the Lord's crowd and kissing his helmet.

The reaction from England fans on social media was one of joy, pride, and love towards the former captain, who became just the 14th - and joint youngest - man in history to pass the 10,000 run landmark in the capital.
