Anderson Bags Two Wickets in First Game Back From Injury

Written by Vipin Darwade

England fast bowler James Anderson bagged two wickets for Lancashire’s second XI on his return to competitive cricket as he limbers up for the Test series against India. He returned with figures of 2/32 in 14 overs as Nottinghamshire were bundled out for 126 in a match that had been arranged to facilitate the fast bowler’s comeback.

Anderson had been out of action due to a shoulder niggle since the series against Pakistan in June. If he shows no signs of discomfort, Anderson could soon be seen in action in the Roses Championship fixture against Yorkshire at Old Trafford next weekend.

Stuart Broad too is nursing an ankle injury and would be looking to make a comeback against Surrey in the County Championship from July 22. That will be Broad’s only chance to play red-ball cricket before the Test series against India.
