James Anderson has admitted he's "done in the Ashes" if surfaces continue in the same vein as the one prepared at Edgbaston.
England tantalisingly lost by two wickets in a gripping Test match, with the Australian ninth wicket pair of Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon putting on 55 to get their side over the line in the final session on Tuesday. And notably, despite the hosts taking a second new ball in the closing stages, captain Ben Stokes did not opt to use his country's record wicket taker.
Anderson however, had by then endured an underwhelming Test by his own imperious standards. He took the wicket of Alex Carey in the first innings, but couldn't strike again thereafter as he finished with match figures of 1-109. Long time partner Stuart Broad, in contrast, finished with 6-132 over both innings.
