Top 10 Unforgettable Tests of James Anderson at Old Trafford

3. West Indies (2020)

In 2020, the West Indies visited England for three Tests. Following the four-wicket loss at the hands of the Caribbeans in the opening Test in Southampton, England made a comeback in the second Test with their emphatic 113-run victory at Old Trafford. Manchester hosted the last game as well and this time, England included James Anderson in their playing XI.

West Indies captain Jason Holder won the toss and invited England to bat first. England batters took the Windies bowling unit to the cleaners and posted 369 runs on the board in their first innings. In reply, the West Indies could rack up only 197 as England's fast-bowling unit was too hot to handle for the visitors.

The local boy Anderson bowled a 16-over spell in the first innings and took a couple of wickets. With the heavy lead of 172 runs, England were now looking to create more pressure on the Jason-Holder-led team. English batters executed this task efficiently. After scoring 226/2, England declared their second innings and gave an enormous target of 399 runs to the opponents. Pursuing the score, the Windies team got bundled out on 129. Stuart Broad (4/36) and Chris Woakes (5/50) picked up nine wickets together, while Anderson went wicketless.
