England gave themselves the outside chance of an unlikely victory when they picked up a third wicket with the last ball before tea on the final day of the first test against West Indies on Saturday.
Left-arm spinner Jack Leach got some turn and caught the edge of Shamarh Brooks' bat, with Zak Crawley snapping up a sharp chance at first slip in North Sound on the island of Antigua.
Earlier, opener John Campbell dropped on two by Crawley, the ball spilling out of his hands when he hit the turf after doing well to get to the ball with a dive. Root completed an almost effortless century in England's second innings before declaring on 349 for six wickets at the Viv Richards Stadium.
