The top fast bowler James Anderson, took the wicket on the first ball. England off to a sensational start on the second day of the fourth Ashes at Old Trafford in Manchester on Thursday, July 20.
Australian captain Pat Cummins dismissed in the first ball after the tourists continued their inning at 299-8. The dismissal occurred in the 84th over of Australia’s first innings. Pat Cummins went for the drive but played straight to Ben Stokes’s hands at cover points. Ben took a good low catch as the tourist lost their first wicket of the day without adding any single run to their scoreboard. James Anderson needs 11 more wickets to reach 700 Test wickets. It is worth noting that James Anderson dropped for the third test, which England won by three wickets. The host team would like to win the fourth test to set up a decisive position in the fifth test match.

“You don’t lose legendary status in two games” – Nasser Hussain on James Anderson
Former England captain Naseer Hussain said that he has backed Anderson after a poor performance in the first two test matches.
“I am really pleased England brought James Anderson back. He has bowled on two featherbeds, and he is a legend. You don’t lose legendary status in two games.”
Hussain says;
“He is playing on his home ground, from that far end, the breeze is perfect for his outswinger. You have got Broad’s contest with Warner, then the local legend at the other end.”
Regarding the fourth test, Australia is 317/9 after 89 overs, with Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazelwood at the crease.
