James Anderson has put up excellent performances for England at his home ground Old Trafford.
2. Pakistan (2020)
Pakistan toured England in 2020 for three Tests and three T20Is. The opening Test was conducted in Manchester and the hosts England kicked off their campaign positively with an intriguing three-wicket win. Pakistan skipper Azhar Ali won the toss against his counterpart Joe Root and elected to bat first.
Riding on Shan Masood’s 156 and Babar Azam’s 69, Pakistan amassed a decent total of 326 in the first innings. From England’s side, Stuart Broad and Chris Woakes took three wickets apiece but James Anderson took the crucial wicket of Babar Azam and showcased his experience and skills.
However, when England’s batters came out, they struggled in front of Pakistan’s tight bowling and succumbed to 219. With the 107-run lead, Pakistan had the opportunity to win the match but England’s bowlers took the matter into their hands and folded Pakistan on 169. Except for Anderson, all bowlers succeeded in clinching scalps from England.
