For years and years English cricket fans have waited for James Anderson to deliver a career defining performance and at Trent Bridge on Day Two of the Third and final test with New Zealand it finally happened.
After Kevin Pietersen, Tim Ambrose and Stuart Broad had steadied England's innings with the hosts eventually being bowled out for a respectable 364. From then on it became the Jimmy Anderson show!
In front of the plush new stand at Nottinghamshire's home ground Anderson took on the New Zealand batting lineup single-handedly.
The Black Caps could not come to terms with the pace and swing of Anderson and by the end of Day Two England were sitting pretty with a lead of 268 while Daniel Vettori's tourists drifted precariously towards a 2-0 series defeat.
By the close Anderson had dismissed six New Zealand batsmen for a personal loss of just 42 runs with the visitors finishing at 96-6.
It is very rare for one bowler to dismiss an entire team in an innings but if Anderson's bowling is as eerily deadly on the morning of Day Three then it could happen for him here because
Could Anderson be becoming one of the most dangerous bowlers in world cricket or is this another false dawn?
Here is the video of Anderson bowling a bouncer at Daniel Flynn in the second test which hit the batsmen more than a little hard!
