England v South Africa - 4th Investec Test: Day Two
James Anderson was England's wrecker-in-chief with 7 wickets in the Test

Test cricket requires pressure to be built from both ends and not give batsmen even a sniff of an opportunity to cash in. Over the years, there have been several fast-bowling pairs who like to hunt in pairs and unsettle the opposition batting lineup.

The bowling partnership of James Anderson and Stuart Broad has gifted England several victories. They have absolutely been scintillating for England, especially in Test cricket. It was no different for the pair in the fourth Test.

While Anderson ripped apart the top order in the first innings with 4 wickets, Broad cleaned up the middle and lower order with 3 wickets. The pair displayed exemplary line and lengths during the second innings and conceded a meagre 40 runs in 26 overs.
