<p>LONDON (AP) — England cricket star Joe Root isn't only a batting great.</p>
<p>He also holds a record in test cricket for catching after snaffling Karun Nair with a stunning one-handed grab in the third test against India at Lord's on Friday.</p>
<p>Root has 211 catches in the longest format, the most for an outfielder after breaking a tie with retired India great Rahul Dravid.</p>
<p>Standing in his usual position at first slip, Root dropped to his left to make the one-handed catch just before the ball was going to hit the ground.</p>
<p>Already in this test, Root has made 104 for his national record-extending 37th test century, placing him fifth on the all-time list.</p>
