IND vs ENG: Full list of records broken during India vs England 4th Test in Manchester
India pulled off an unlikely draw on Sunday against England in the fourth Test in Manchester in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy.
Though India still trails 2-1 in this series, it goes into the final Test with its tails up, having survived a 311-run first-innings deficit and playing out the final day with just eight wickets in hand.
For England, Joe Root and Ben Stokes created multiple records as the side posted a massive 669 runs in the first innings. For the visitor, Shubman Gill continued his run-scoring spree.
Here are the records broken in Manchester in the fourth Test:
Root equals Sangakkara: England batter Joe Root continued his rise to the top of Test batting charts as he recorded his 38th century to equal Kumar Sangakkara in the most Test centuries list. He's now joint at fourth spot.
Root dominates India: This was also Root's 12th century against India, the most any batter has scored against the side.
Next-up, Tendulkar: During his 150-run knock, Root went from fifth to second-highest run-getter in Test cricket, surpassing Jacques Kallis, Rahul Dravid and Ricky Ponting. He's now behind Sachin Tendulkar. By the time he was eventually dismissed, Root's tally stood at 13,409 runs.
Forgettable century: Jasprit Bumrah recorded the most expensive spell of his Test career, two for 112, in his 48-match red-ball career.
Captain fantastic: Ben Stokes became the fourth all-rounder from England to score a century and pick a five-wicket haul in the same match. Tony Greig, Ian Botham and Gus Atkinson are the other players to achieve the feat. Only Botham has achieved this feat more than once (5).
In elite company: Ben Stokes completed 7,000 runs in Test cricket — only the third player to record 7,000 runs and 200 wickets in Tests. Only Jacques Kallis and Garfield Sobers had achieved the feat before Stokes.
Bumrah equals Ishant: Jasprit Bumrah equalled Ishant Sharma's tally of 51 wickets in England to become India's joint-highest wicket-taker in the country.
Mammoth total: England scored 669 runs — the ninth-highest total conceded by India. For England, this was its second-best effort against India, with the best of 710 for seven coming in Birmingham in 2011. The last team to score 600 runs or more against India was New Zealand, which managed 680 runs in Wellington in 2014.
Gill's golden run: Shubman Gill became only the third Indian batter after Sunil Gavaskar and Yashasvi Jaiswal to score 700 runs or more in a Test series. He finished his Test with 722 runs, the third-most by an Indian in a series. Gill also became the first Asian batter to score 650 runs or more in a Test series in England.
Captain Gill makes a mark: He scored his fourth century of the series, tying him with Sunil Gavaskar and Virat Kohli for the most hundreds by an Indian in a series. Gill also tied with Don Bradman, for the most hundreds in a series by a captain. Bradman had reached the three-figure mark four times during the Ashes in 1947/48 in Australia.
Jadeja-Washington strike match-saving stand: Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar struck hundreds on the final day of the Test, adding 223 runs for the fifth wicket, the highest for India in the 4th innings of an away Test.
