Ind vs Eng, 1st Test, Day 5 | Anderson, Leach send India hurtling to humiliating defeat
The HinduJames Anderson is 38 but runs in with the intensity and hunger of someone who is 22. Deadly over Anderson’s twin strikes in an over, bamboozling the smooth-stroking Shubman Gill — he drove with timing and grace for his 50 — and a newly arrived Ajinkya Rahane, sent India hurtling towards a rare home defeat in the first Test at the M.A. Even as Anderson tormented India, the admirable Jack Leach’s left-arm spin gave the host little respite. Extra bounce Leach got one to bounce extra to snare Ashwin on the cut, and after Kohli’s dismissal, it was only a matter of time.
