LONDON (Reuters) - England's Joe Root said he had lost none of his desire to score runs for his country and get better as a player after compiling his 34th test century on Saturday at Lord's in the second test against Sri Lanka.

Root's second hundred of the match put his team in a strong position to clinch the series and took him to the top of the list of England test centurions.
