The England captain came out to bat after the early dismissal of Alastair Cook in the second over.
He batted calmly and was taking no risks. Root played some beautiful boundaries through the off-side as he reached his fifty.
Root batted beautifully and reached 68 before being trapped lbw by Mohammad Abbas. Root showed that the first innings disappointment was a setback and will be hoping to produce similar performances in the final Test.
