After his seventh five-wicket haul at the venue, England pacer James Anderson on Friday said that Lord's does seem to bring out the best in him. Anderson on Friday picked 5 for 62 in the second Test against India. This was the pacer's 31st five-wicket haul in international Test cricket. With his fourth five-for against India at the iconic venue, Anderson became the oldest pacer to achieve the feat in Tests since 1951. There's something that is extra bit special about Lord's, certainly for me. It just seemed to bring the best out of me. The last few times I've come here, you kind of think, well, this was my last time playing here so you want it to be a good performance, Anderson said. The 39-year-old also applauded Joe Root's captaincy as well as his performance with the bat. In England's first innings at Lord's, Root scored 48 and was unbeaten at the end of day 2. England ended the day at 119/3 after dismissing India for 364.Anderson said that Root has been amazing throughout his career. Absolutely, he's been amazing. Throughout his career, and in this last 12 months in particular with everything that we've been through with the pandemic and pressure on this team, to be able to captain the side, and perform the way he has is nothing more than superhuman, Anderson said at the end of day two's proceedings. Root also moved to the second spot in the list of all-time top scorers for England. Root surpassed former England captain Graham Gooch (8,900 Test runs) and now trails only Alastair Cook.In reply to India's 364 all out, England lost opener Dom Sibley and comeback man Haseeb Hameed in successive balls to be 23/2 inside 15 overs before Root and Rory Burns (49) rebuilt their innings with an 85-run stand. The first Test had ended in a draw after rain washed out the last day's play.
