The pair put on 198, with Root making 154 not out and Anderson a Test-best 81, to take England to 496 on the fourth day in reply to India's first innings 457.

India, finally had a sigh of relief as they managed to bowl England out for 496 with England taking a lead of 39 runs.

The England duo's stand surpassed the previous tenth-wicket Test record of 163 -- shared by Agar and Phil Hughes in Nottingham last year.

The first innings certainly had its moments when Joe Root and Ishant Sharma were involved in a verbal duel.

This was Joe Root's fourth Test ton. He recently scored a double-hundred in the series versus Sri Lanka.

Moeen Ali struck in his first over to have the disbelieving Shikhar Dhawan caught and bowled off a full toss for a run-a-ball 29.

First innings century-maker Murali Vijay (52) was caught behind by wicketkeeper Matt Prior of the bowling of off-spinner Moeen Ali.

Next ball Cheteshwar Pujara (55) cut at fast bowler Liam Plunkett and Ben Stokes, at backward point, grabbed the catch at the second attempt after the ball hit his chest.

Root insisted England now had a chance, albeit slim, of winning the first of this five-Test series.

"Obviously we're going to have to bowl well tomorrow (Sunday), get some early wickets, but if we do you never know," said Root.
