Australian openers David Warner and Usman Khawaja withstood a barrage of hostile bowling as they steamed to 135 in pursuit of a target of 384 before rain stopped play on the fourth day of the final Ashes test at The Oval on Sunday.
Jimmy Anderson floored Warner with an unintended beamer when Australia were just short of a hundred, with the batter just managing to fend off the shoulder-height ball with his bat handle.
It is the highest opening partnership in the Ashes in England since the home side's Alastair Cook and Andrew Strauss put on 196 at Lord's back in 2009.the previous night, and Anderson, marking his 41st birthday, had opened the bowling after ending England's second innings together in the morning, with Broad smashing the final ball of his batting career for six.
England had batted with great intent on Saturday, with Zak Crawley , Root and Bairstow helping to build the score as Australia's bowlers struggled to restrict the flow of runs.
