Fifth Test, day five - England 284 & 378-3 beat India 416 & 245 by seven wickets: Root and Bairstow's unbeaten 269 partnership saw England knock off the ...

Root was initially content to rotate the strike with singles and had a moment of minor fortune when an under-edge skimmed past his stumps, past the wicketkeeper and away for four more. It is a shot he has added to his already broad repertoire this summer but every time it makes an appearance, it leaves jaws on the floor. But in Root and Bairstow they arguably have world cricket’s two form players. There was thick cloud cover overhead and gloomy enough light to require floodlights from the start of play. After chasing targets of 277, 296, 299 and now 378 with a flourish this summer, it is hard to argue against. England started day five needing another 119 but did it with comical ease in less than 25 overs and not a single concrete chance offered.

LAWRENCE BOOTH: England completed a sensational victory over India at Edgbaston on Tuesday after completing a record chase of 378 - with Bairstow and Root ...

Was hit about by Pant on the opening day – not for the first time. And to think England dropped him for the Caribbean. Received a first-innings brute from Siraj, but batted like a deity in the run-chase – and even reverse-scooped Thakur for six. Keeps blowing hot and cold – not helped by a wild drive in the first innings. Other than imbuing his players with an endless supply of confidence, he bowled the spell in India’s second innings that kept England in the hunt. The world is his oyster.

It was the fourth time England has chased 275-plus to win this year alone - something which has happened 57 times all-up in Test cricket.

England rewrote history by winning their series-deciding test by seven wickets.

The target of 378 — the ninth highest in test history if successful — looked unlikely until England started batting. Root raised his hundred with a boundary to third man off Siraj and Bairstow followed his 106 in the first innings with another hundred after he went for a sharp single. Root and Bairstow came together soon after tea on Monday when England lost three wickets in the space of 16 deliveries. Bumrah was the sole wicket-taker in the second innings. India went into the test rearranged from last year leading 2-1 and on course for its first series win in England in 15 years. We are bringing a new set of fans to test cricket.

Barring a few overs from Bumrah just before and after tea on Day Four, the rest of the Indian bowlers just didn’t exert any pressure. That happened because England were both “braver” and “better” than India, especially on the last two days. Stand-in India skipper Jasprit Bumrah was named India’s player of the series for his 23 wickets.
