James Anderson says he is "absolutely loving" playing under Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum as the England seamer continues to star at 40-years-old.
Anderson turned 40 last month but has showed no signs of slowing down, having picked up 24 wickets at an average of 17.66 this summer since being recalled to the side. And when asked if he feels like he has "a new lease of life" with Stokes and McCullum encouraging England to play a positive and aggressive brand of Test cricket, Anderson joked he has "smiled more than I ever have on a cricket field".
Speaking to Sky Sports after England wrapped up an innings victory over South Africa in the second Test at Old Trafford, he said: "Yeah, I do. I've really enjoyed the last few months, the way Ben and Brendon want us to play [means] my role has become a little different.
