England moved to 23 without losing any wicket at Tea on the second day of the second Test against India on Friday after bowling out the visitors for 364 in their first innings. Both openers – Dom Sibley and Rory Burns – were batting on 11.

Earlier, James Anderson, England's all-time leading Test wicket-taker, took 5-62 in 29 overs to dismantle India.

It was the 31st time in 164 matches that Anderson had taken five wickets in a Test innings and the seventh occasion when the 39-year-old had done so at Lord's. Already the most successful fast bowler in Test history, Anderson now has 626 wickets in the format with only two retired spinners in Sri Lanka's Muttiah Muralitharan (800 wickets) and Australia's Shane Warne (708) ahead of him.

Earlier, India opener KL Rahul added just two runs to his overnight century before he was caught at short cover off paceman Ollie Robinson for 129.
