Root-Anderson's world record stand puts England on top

July 12, 2014 18:01

Eng 485-9 (140 ovs) vs India 457 | Scorecard

Anderson looking in complete control out in the middle as he flicks Binny through midwicket for a four and then takes a single to take his score to 75. This could possibly be his best chance to get the elusive Test century.

Root then plays a beautiful drive through the covers for a boundary to continue to build England's lead.

Jadeja and Ishant have both bowled 35 overs each with the latter picking up three wickets and he will continue with just five minutes to go for lunch.

Anderson edges the fifth ball of the over for a boundary to take his score to 81, from 118 balls, with the help of 17 fours.
