James Anderson’s 10th wicket of the match gave England a 14-run victory against Australia in a tension-filled finale to their Ashes cricket series opener.
With Australia needing another 137 runs to win on the final day, Anderson removed three batsmen before the last pair of Brad Haddin and James Pattinson took the touring team to the brink of victory with a 65-run stand at Trent Bridge in Nottingham. Anderson sent down the match-winning delivery when he had Haddin caught behind for 71 with the aid of a successful review.
