Highlights from day five of the fifth Test between England and India

KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant struck centuries but James Anderson's record-breaking 564th Test scalp saw England seal a 4-1 series win over India.

Click play on the video at the top of the page to watch the best of the action as Pant brought up his maiden Test hundred with a big six over midwicket.

Rahul became the first India opener to get past 50 in this series and he accelerated rapidly through the 80s and 90s towards his hundred before lunch, bringing up his fifth Test ton from 118 balls.

After the interval, with the pitch appearing to flatten out and the older ball doing little for either spinners or seamers, Rahul (149) and Pant (114) cashed in.

However, Adil Rashid produced another 'ball of the century' as he got a delivery to hit the rough and spin an incredible 10 degrees and hit the top of off to get rid of Rahul.

Pant holed out in the deep shortly after and Sam Curran dismissed Ishant Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja cheaply leaving one wicket needed for victory.

It took just three deliveries for Anderson to surpass Glenn McGrath as he sent Mohammad Shami's middle-stump cartwheeling, to become the most prolific seamer in Test cricket and hand England an emphatic 118-run win.
