James Anderson came out in defence of Stuart Broad after his opening partner was on the receiving end of history against India at Edgbaston.

Broad experienced the ignominy of conceding a record 35 runs from his 18th over

A total of 1054 sixes have been struck this season so far 

Coming in to bat at no.10 Jasprit Bumrah made light of a bowler of Stuart Broad's calibre hitting him for four boundaries and two sixes in an over

Anderson, who took his 30th fifer in Test cricket, revealed that Broad's over wouldn't have been under discussion if one of Bumrah's shots landed into the fielder's hands and that he lacked luck.

"Yeah, it is just one of those things. On another day one of those top edges goes straight to hand. If that gets taken nobody talks about the over," said James Anderson

England's all-time leading wicket-taker also revealed that bowling to tailenders is difficult, recalling how Mohammed Siraj attempted to hit him for a maximum.

"Sometimes it can be easier to bowl at top-order bats, to be honest. I do remember a few balls to Siraj: he tried to hit two out of the ground and the next one played a perfect forward defence. Anderson said.
