- Veteran takes five-fer but Joe Root rested after finger injury
- ‘India were cautious, even with a big lead’, insists Anderson
Jimmy Anderson credited England’s two-year resurgence with the bat for sowing doubt in the minds of India, even if he was personally the catalyst that had his teammates dreaming of yet more history by stumps on day three of the second Test.
After a low-key Ashes series, Anderson has certainly delivered for Ben Stokes on this return, becoming the first seamer older than 41 to claim five wickets in a Test for 101 years. As has long been the case with Anderson, writing him off is a mug’s game.
