- England captain will win 100th cap against India on Friday
- The four-Test series is first to be shown on Channel 4 since 2005
Joe Root hopes Test cricket’s return to terrestrial television captures the imagination of a new audience as the England captain gears up to win his 100th cap with a vow there are plenty more runs still to come from his bat.
The four-match series against India that begins in Chennai on Friday will be the first Test cricket shown live on free-to-air television in the UK since England matches moved predominantly to Sky after the 2005 Ashes, with Channel 4 confirming on Wednesday it had secured the rights from Star Sports.
