This partnership for England is a record for the 10th wicket against India in test matches beating the 70 put on by Bob Willis and Paul Allott at Lord's in 1982.

It is now the best 10th wicket partnership for England beating Tip Foster & Wilfred Rhodes 130 v Australia in 1903.

The moment Jimmy got caught out for 81.

The last wicket put on 198 runs (298-9 to 496).

Jimmy Anderson has now scored more test runs in 2014 than Alastair Cook (Anderson 98 - Cook 97)

Jimmy Anderson has hit more fours in this innings than Alastair Cook has in 2014 (Anderson 17 - Cook 14).

India has only lost the one wicket that was Dhawan before tea.

At the moment the score is 74-1 a lead of 35.

Quite amusing to watch Andersons emotions during an exchange with Cook over field positioning there. A shake of the head and a roll of the eyes from the bowler.

It seems pretty clear Jimmy has no respect whatsoever for Cooks captaining abilities.

Can someone explain why that was a dead ball?

It seemed to nick the bat and go for 4 - would it have been a dead ball if he had been caught?

You can only get leg byes if you are playing a shot. In this case, it was deemed that the player was not playing a shot. Which he clearly was, despite what the commentators said. It came off his chest guard rather than his bat, I think.
