Root goes past Jayawardene, No.9 on the all time runs list in Test cricket.
Will he play on long enough to get to No.1

Needs 4,105 runs and will be 36 and 2 months by the end of the current FTP in Feb 2027

Imagine he'd play all of these tests barring injury and that's 32 tests. No doubt England will manage to pigeonhole more in somewhere too.

2024 WI 2 (H)
2024 SL 3 (H)
2024 PAK 3 (A)
2024 NZ 3 (A)
2025 IND 5 (H)
25/26 AUS 5 (A)
2026 NZ 3 (H)
2026 PAK 3 (H)
26/27 SA 3 (A)
2027 BAN 2 (A)

He'd need to average 128 a test to pass Sachin in this timeframe.

Eh? Can you elaborate?
To quote cricinfo:

" 2.2 Goes for the scoop again and Kusal Mendis gobbles it up and goes up in appeal. This is not given by the umpire. And then with Hales outside his crease, Mendis tries to throw down the stumps at the non-striker's end. It's been reviewed, and it did go off the glove! Dickwella has to go! Hales was caught outside his crease and he may have been out had the review not shown Dickwella to have gloved it! It's all happening here in Colombo! The odd thing is, it was Dickwella who asked for a review, despite being given not out! 29/1 "
