England's Joe Root and James Anderson rewrote the record books with a Test record last-wicket stand but a docile Trent Bridge pitch threatened to have the last word in their series opener with India.
The pair put on 198 to take England to 496 on the fourth day in reply to India's first innings 457.
Following is a list of the 10 highest last-wicket stands in test cricket:
