England vs India, 2nd Test, Day 2: 5 Talking Points

#1 Amazing Anderson sinks India

James Anderson maybe 36-years-old, but what he still has in abundance is skill and it was on full display on Friday, when he took yet another five-wicket haul to sink India.

In conditions suitable for the swinging ball, as was the case on Friday, there are few harder to play than Anderson, whose immaculate line, coupled with late swing, makes it impossible for the batsmen to score with any freedom at any point.

How India counter him in the second innings will define whether they can now save the Test match or not.
