The first round of matches in the Champions Trophy over in England are now in the record books, with each of the eight participating teams having played one game each.
The perfect time to have our first look back and see which players have notched up a personal milestone in the tournament so far.
Joe Root (England)
The England Test captain’s 133 not out in the comfortable Group A win against Bangladesh on Thursday was his highest score in 50-over internationals. This was Root’s tenth ODI century, moving him up to joint second place in England’s all time one-day century makers list, alongside current white-ball captain Eoin Morgan. Both are closing inĀ on Marcus Trescothick’s England record of 12.
Ross Taylor (New Zealand)
When Ross took the field in Friday’s rain-ruined Group A match against Trans-Tasman rivals Australia, it was his 188th appearance for the Blackcaps in ODIs, enough to give him a share of eighth place in NZ’s all time appearance list with Scott Styris. He’ll likely claim that spot outright on Tuesday against England.
Kane Williamson (New Zealand)
The Blackcaps’ skipper scored a nice round 100 in the aborted game against Australia, his ninth ODI century, and moved his career total on to 4461 runs – bumping Chris Zinzan Harris out of New Zealand’s all-time top ten list in the process. He now sits just 22 behind Styris in ninth spot.
Josh Hazlewood (Australia)
Hazlewood’s mightily impressive 6 for 52 against New Zealand was his third five-wicket haul in ODIs, becoming only the seventh Australian to bag that many “Michelles”.
Hashim Amla (South Africa)
Hashim Amla’s 103 in his side’s 96-run Group B win against Sri Lanka on Saturday was his 25th ODI tonne for the Proteas, in just his 151st innings.
This century moved him alongside Sri Lanka’s Kumar Sangakarra in joint fifth place in the world.
