Where did Joe Root get his centuries?

This summer, Joe Root has jumped from from fifth in the all-time Test run scorers list to number two behind only the great Sachin Tendulkar.


In fact, it wasn't even over the course of the entire summer but one innings at Old Trafford where he overtook Rahul Dravid, Jacques Kallis and finally, Ricky Ponting.


The crowd stood to applaud this unbelievable feat as eyes have now turned to, and begun to theorise, when he might overtake the Little Master himself.


A ton in the final Test of the summer at The Oval took Root to his 39th century to add to his impressive 18 in ODIs.


Not selected in the white ball squads ahead of an important winter in Australia, Root looks unlikely to add to his tally until his next opportunity at Perth in November. It's a tour that he will be looking to make an impact on, Australia being a rare example of a country that he is yet to make a full international century in.


But before all that - how about a quiz?


Can you name every ground that Joe Root has made an international century in?
