Former England paceman James Anderson once again stole the limelight during the County Championship clash between Lancashire and Derbyshire at Old Trafford on Saturday.

The 42-year-old seamer, now representing Lancashire, made an emphatic impact, aimed at suffocating Derbyshire in their chase of 458 runs. Anderson, with his trademark red-ball skills, struck early by dismissing Caleb Jewell with an exquisite delivery.

After sending Jewell's stumps cartwheeling, Anderson continued to exert pressure, claiming the wicket of David Lloyd after a promising knock of 27. Renowned for his swing prowess, Anderson's dominance in red-ball cricket remains indisputable, even as he nears the end of his illustrious career.
