Joe Root has been hailed for "parking his ego" as he notched his 29th Test match hundred against New Zealand, drawing him level with the legendary Sir Don Bradman.
Root entered the second Test on his longest run without a century in more than two years, having last reached three figures against India in July, and also spoke openly about getting "a bit caught up" in 'Bazball' and "trying to find out what my role is" under England's new regime.
He added that he felt his half-century in the first Test in Mount Maunganui had given him a "kick up the backside" and Root was undoubtedly back to his best in Wellington as he struck an unbeaten 101.
