Joe Root-Jonny Bairstow Master-Classes vs India Help England Register Their Highest Successful Chase, Break Other Records

When India set England a 378-run target in the fourth innings of the fifth rescheduled Test in Edgbaston, few would have believed that it was possible. There were several reasons behind the thought. England had never chased down anything over 360 in the fourth innings of a Test before. But as things turned out, Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow scored unbeaten centuries to take England to a seven-wicket win with more than two sessions to spare on the fifth day of the Test match.

Having been in control for much of the ongoing rescheduled fifth Test against England at Edgbaston, India found themselves on the back foot at stumps on Day 4. Apart from Cheteshwar Pujara and Rishabh Pant, the Indian batting failed to come to the party in the second innings, and were bowled out for 245, setting England a target of 378 runs to win the fifth Test. Despite the batters' failings in the second innings, India still would have been quietly confident with England needing to chase over 350 runs to win the match -- a feat that has never been accomplished at Edgbaston.
