■ The stand of 198 between James Anderson and Joe Root surpassed the previous highest of 163, curiously at Trent Bridge exactly a year ago to the week.

■ Anderson’s maiden half-century completed the first instance in Test history of two No11s making 50 in the same match, after Mohammed Shami’s unbeaten 51 for India on the second day. ■ Anderson’s maiden half-century completed the first instance in Test history of two No11s making 50 in the same match, after Mohammed Shami’s unbeaten 51 for India on the second day.
■ Root and Anderson established another first in cricket history, as this became the only Test to feature two century 10th-wicket partnerships – after Shami and Bhuvneshwar Kumar put on 111 together in India’s first innings.■ Root and Anderson established another first in cricket history, as this became the only Test to feature two century 10th-wicket partnerships – after Shami and Bhuvneshwar Kumar put on 111 together in India’s first innings.
■ Anderson’s 81 is the highest score by an England No11, beating the 59 not out scored by John Snowagainst West Indies at The Oval in 1966.■ Anderson’s 81 is the highest score by an England No11, beating the 59 not out scored by John Snowagainst West Indies at The Oval in 1966.
■ In 130 innings in his 94-Test career, Anderson’s previous career-best score was 34. He began this match with a Test average of 10.20, and in 210 first-class innings had never before made more than 37 not out. He had never previously made a half-century in any senior cricket for club, county or country. His career-best had stood for 13 years at 49 not out, opening the batting for Burnley at Todmorden in the Lancashire League in April 2001. So his 81 rates pretty well by comparison.■ In 130 innings in his 94-Test career, Anderson’s previous career-best score was 34.
