England vs India: Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow Achieve A First In Test Cricket With Unbeaten Centuries vs India

Brilliant centuries from Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow saw England complete their biggest chase in Test cricket to beat India at Edgbaston in the rescheduled 5th Test and draw the series 2-2 on Tuesday. Root was unbeaten on 142 while Bairstow hit 114 not out in England's second innings as they registered a seven-wicket win against India. In the process, the Yorkshire duo registered the first instance of two batters finishing with unbeaten centuries in a successful chase in Test cricket.

India vs England 5th Test: Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow slam unbeaten hundreds as England beat India to level series 2-2

Jonny Bairstow (114*; 145 balls, 15x4, 1x6) and Joe Root (142*; 173 balls, 19x4, 1x6) and their unbroken partnership of 269 in just 52.3 overs helped England chase down the highest ever fourth-innings total on English soil on a heady Day Five in Birmingham on Tuesday. The result denied India a series win, that looked possible at the end of Day Three when they were 257 ahead with seven wickets left and had clinched seven sessions out of the nine played. That happened because England were both “braver” and “better” than India, especially on the last two days. And they had two in-form, class batsmen, who, armed with clarity in the dressing room, were prepared to play their strokes, which negated a quality seam attack. Bairstow, who scored his second hundred of the match and his sixth in his last eight, having scored only six in the previous 79, was named man of the match. Root, England’s talisman and perhaps the best batter in the world now, took home the man-of-the -series honours with 737 runs and four hundreds at a stunning average of 105.28. His nine Test tons are the most that any player has scored against India.
