WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2018 20 He’s done it Anderson seals England’s fifth Test win over India AFP | London, United Kingdom ames Anderson became the most successful fast bowl- Jer in Test history when he sealed England’s 118-run win over India at the Oval yesterday. With just one wicket to fall, and Anderson needing one more to break the record of 563 he had shared with retired Australia great Glenn McGrath, the 36-year-old Lancashire paceman bowled Mo- hammed Shami to give England victory in the fifth Test and a 4-1 series win. India, set a mammoth 464 to win, collapsed to two for three on Monday, with Anderson striking twice. But a sixth-wicket partner- ship of 204 between KL Rahul (149) and Rishabh Pant (114) on Tuesday gave them hope of an unlikely victory.
