Anderson swings out India




Anderson, with superb swing bowling, skittled out the Indians at Lord. He grabbed his 11th 5 wicket Test haul, when he took 5/69 yesterday. He bowled Praveen Kumar with a beauty and then removed Raina ( 78) and Ishant ( 1) with consecutive deliveries.

The Indians were expectant of a century of centuries from the Little Master, but had to contend with defeat. KP was declared Man of the Match.

The Nottingham Test starts on Friday and England has already taken a lead of 1-0 in the four match Test series.

Despite the loss, Dhoni said he was happy the way the Indians performed. Lots of injuries was the problem and he said the Indians rose to the occasion !

Tremlett achieved the breakthrough after tea, as he removed the dangerous Dhoni. The Indians lost their seventh wicket as Bajji tried to pull Anderson and was caught by Tremlett.
