On day five, resuming from 259/3, England knocked off the required 119 runs to chase down a record 378 - their highest-successful run chase in Test history. The main architects of the chase were senior batters Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow sharing a 269-run stand to remain unbeaten 142 and 114 respectively.
