One of the main subplots of the series was the battle between James Anderson and Virat Kohli. However, it has been a one-sided bout thus far, with Anderson emerging victorious. The 39-year old has dismissed the Indian skipper twice in the series, including once for a golden duck.
James Anderson, writing in his column for The Telegraph, highlighted that his emotions in Leeds after removing Virat Kohli in the first innings were similar to those he felt in Nottingham. He wrote:
Anderson further underlined how he and Ollie Robinson plotted Kohli’s dismissal in the second innings in Leeds. He continued:
I feel like I am in a great place: James Anderson
James Anderson intends to play all five Tests this summer as he feels in a good place. The right-arm seamer remains keen to contribute to England’s victories as long as he plays.
It will be interesting to see if Anderson plays the fourth Test on Thursday since coach Chris Silverwood has hinted at resting him. Anderson took four wickets in the third Test at Leeds as the hosts leveled the series at 1-1.
