Root, Bairstow power England to win against India in 5th Test

Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow scored grand hundreds as England pulled off their highest-ever chase in the longest format for a persuading seven-wicket prevail upon India in the rescheduled fifth Test.

England upgraded the 378-run target in the morning session of the fifth day with Root and Bairstow staying unbeaten on 142 and 114 separately.

England’s success implied that the five-match Test series, which gushed out over to this year because of COVID-19 cases in the Indian camp last year, finished in 2-2 draw.

This was the fourth time England pursued down an target of over of 250 in the fourth innings, the previous three being against New Zealand – – 277, 299, 296 – – in their 3-0 home Test series win the month before.

Root’s 173-ball innings was beautified with 19 fours and one six while Bairstow struck 15 fours.

It was Bairstow’s second ton of the match as he had made 106 off 140 balls in the England first innings.

Brief Scores – England: 284 and 378/3 in 76.4 overs (Joe Root 142 not out, Jonny Bairstow 114 not out, Alex Lees 56; Jasprit Bumrah 2/74) beat India 416 and 245 by seven wickets.
