India in England: I bowl less in nets, and try to save it for the middle, says James Anderson

English pacer James Anderson says the secret to his longevity in Test cricket lies in cutting down on his time at the nets to save it for the matches. Anderson’s opening spell set the tone for England on the opening day of the third Test against India.

With age, James Anderson is only getting better. The most successful fast bowler in Test history ripped through India’s top order and set the tone for England to take complete control of the third test after Day 1 at Headingley. Anderson's masterclass was fully on display in an awe-inspiring spell of 8-5-6-3 with the new ball as England bowled India out for 78 after Virat Kohli opted to bat in the first Test on Wednesday.
