#6th wicket - Joe Root

Root's spirited stay came to an end soon after Stokes' dismissal.

England needed 117 runs to win with only three wickets in hand as Indian fans could smell the sweet fragrance of victory. However, they were aware that the determined Joe Root was still in the crease. His one-man-show came to an end when Root, just like Prior, pulled a round-of-the-wicket delivery. Stuart Binny took a good catch to end Root's resilience on 66.
