When England came to the climax of an equally tight Test, back at Lord’s in 1963, England’s last man was Colin, later Lord, Cowdrey. He had broken his left arm in the first innings against West Indies.

England needs 35 more runs to beat India as fifth Test thriller goes to the last day of the five-match cricket series.

That gave India a glimmer of hope and they made the most of it. Jacob Bethell also fell to a rash shot for five and Root, having completed a masterful 39th Test century, nicked a catch to wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel off Prasidh Krishna to spark wild Indian celebrations.
