#2 5/20 vs India, 2018

England v India

India visited England in 2018 for a 5-matches test series. In the third test at Lord's, England won the toss and chose to bowl first. India could only manage to score a mere 107 as Anderson registered figures of 5/20 with 5 maidens and an economy rate of just 1.5. R Ashwin was the top scorer for India with 29 runs off 38 balls. Anderson sent both the openers back in quick succession and delivered a major blow to the Indian team.

England then came out to bat and scored 396 for the loss off 7 wickets before the skipper decided to declare and put India to bat. Chris Woakes was the top scorer for England with 137. Jonny Bairstow too made valuable 93. Woakes and Bairstow registered a key partnership of 189 runs.

India came in to bat with a huge trail of 289 runs and Anderson once again showed why is one of the most feared bowlers in the world picking up 4 wickets after conceding only 23 runs. India got bundled out for 130 runs and England won by an innings and 159 runs to take 2-0 lead in the series.
