SL vs ENG: James Anderson On Top After Six-For In Hot And Humid Galle

By IANS News January 23, 2021 • 22:09 PM View: 1772

England paceman James Anderson Saturday said it is a "bigger achievement" to get five-wicket hauls in the sub-continent than back home after he helped bowl out Sri Lanka for 381 on day two in the second Test.

Anderson, 38, denied wicketkeeper-batsman Niroshan Dickwella a century after sending him back for 92 in Galle to claim his 30th five-wicket haul with figures of 6-40.
