ENG vs NZ | Internet reacts to James Anderson's roaring comeback
James Anderson has returned to the Test cricket with beginning of first Test against New Zealand after being dropped for the West Indies series. Anderson bowled a superb spell on his Test return to put New Zealand in trouble at the start of the innings by taking wickets of Tom Latham and Will Young.
England are playing the first Test of the three-match series against New Zealand. Visitors chose to bat first after winning the toss but England bowlers have exploited the home conditions extremely well. James Anderson and Stuart Broad are returning to the Test side after they were dropped for the series against West Indies. The duo started with a new ball and troubled batters with their ability to swing.
Anderson made a stunning comeback to the Test fold as he dismissed two openers on single-digit scores. Anderson was bowling the third over of the innings and he bowled a delivery shaping away to Will Young. Young poked at it and nicked the ball towards slips. Jonny Bairstow took a stunning catch. Anderson’s next wicket came on the third ball of the fifth over. Tom Latham tried to cut a delivery outside off but the outside edge was taken in the slips.
Anderson’s made his Test return special with a couple of wickets and is bowling brilliantly so far.
Boom!
The catch!

Rare
James Anderson got better by age, especially after 35, very very rare in any format of the game by a pace bowler.
