The Anderson-Tendulkar trophy between India and England has seen some terrific, nerve-racking cricketing action so far. India made an epic comeback to level the series 2-2 after a stunning 6-run win at the Oval in the fifth Test.
After the retirements of James Anderson and Stuart Broad, a young English attack has been on display and has done decently well so far. Their consistent and accurate bowling, led by skipper Ben Stokes, helped them to a victory in the Lord's Test.
