Known for his ability to swing the ball and make it move off the seam in helpful conditions, Anderson produced two fantastic deliveries to breach the defence of India opener Shubman Gill and vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane, in conditions where he has struggled to perform otherwise.

Anderson used the pitch and the conditions to perfect use as he bowled in-cutters to both the batsmen and managed to get the ball through the gap between bat and pad.

He then returned to pick up the wicket of in-form wicket-keepr batsman Rishabh Pant to completely break the back of India's batting to put England in a match-winning position.

Anderson, who holds the record for being the most successful fast bowler in Test history, hasn't been as big a force in Asian conditions throughout his stories career.

But this performance shows why he is regarded as one of the greatest in the history of English cricket and one of the best in world cricket too.

Inspiring England to victory on Indian soil will be a great achievement for the Lancashire seamer in the fag end of his career.
