The second day in the fourth Test between India and England was a battle of attrition. If the home side's bowlers did well to dismiss England for 330, the tourists proved even better by wiping out the Indian top order and taking the day's honours.
The man responsible for England ending the day on a high was none other than their pacer James Anderson, who bagged Sachin Tendulkar's wicket for the ninth time.
Check out some statistical highlights from the day's play at the VCA stadium in Nagpur.
# James Anderson's tally of 47 wickets, at an average of 28.91 in 14 Tests, is the third highest this year, behind Graeme Swann's 57 at 29.80 runs apiece in 14 Tests and Rangana Herath's 55 apiece at 21.80 runs in nine Tests.
- Is it time to drop Sachin Tendulkar?
# Anderson has bagged Sachin Tendulkar's wicket on nine occasions in Tests - the most a bowler has taken his wicket.
Anderson's tally of nine Test dismissals is the highest he has claimed a player's wicket.
# Gautam Gambhir is the 12th Indian player to complete 4,000 runs in Tests, totalling 4021 at an average of 44.18 in 54 Tests.
# Gambhir's average of 41.83 in the present series is his highest in five Test series. He had recorded 17.00 against England in 2011; 39.00 against the West Indies in 2011-12; 22.62 against Australia in 2011-12 and 19.33 against New Zealand in 2012.
# Graeme Swann (56 off 91 balls) posted his fifth fifty in Test cricket - his first against India. The said knock is the highest innings by a number nine batsman for England against India on Indian soil, eclipsing John Lever's 53 in the 1976-77 Delhi Test.
