Anderson steps up recovery
James Anderson bowled 20 overs for Lancashire second XI on Tuesday as he took another step towards proving his fitness for the fourth Ashes test against Australia.
England’s leading wicket-taker, who is recuperating from a right calf injury, claimed 1-38 against Durham second XI at Chester on Tuesday.
The 37-year-old aggravated his calf injury in the Ashes opener at Edgbaston and missed the following two tests.
As part of his rehabilitation programme, Anderson featured for Lancashire’s second XI against Leicestershire’s second string last week, picking up two wickets.
