Anderson, Root drag England back into 2nd test against India

KTVZ

LONDON (AP) — Jimmy Anderson claimed the latest five-wicket haul of his enduring career to drag England back into the second test against India that was finely poised after Mohammed Siraj’s quickfire double in the home team’s reply to 364. England reached stumps on Day 2 at 119-3, with captain Joe Root unbeaten on 48 and seemingly needing a big innings to maintain his side’s recovery which was sparked by another great performance by Anderson at Lord’s. The name of the 39-year-old master of swing will go up on the famous Honours Board at the home of cricket for the seventh time in his career after compiling figures of 5-62, helping skittle out India from its overnight score of 276-3 with the addition of just 88 runs.
