So much quality' -

Ahmed joined Crawley, on 29, and smashed two fours in the final over of the day to leave England at 67-1, needing another 332 for victory.

England coach Brendon McCullum, nicknamed "Baz", and skipper Ben Stokes have devised the "Bazball" brand of cricket, which has got them 14 wins in 19 Tests.

"There's been moments throughout the last two years, particularly in the last 12 months, that makes us think we're doing something well because of the way teams have reacted," said Anderson, 41.

"The wicket is still pretty good, the odd one's keeping low but you expect that. We've got so much quality in our dressing room, there are guys in there who can maybe get 150 for us tomorrow and win us the game."

It was Anderson's double strike early in the first session that set the pace for England as the old warhorse sent skipper Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal back to the pavilion.

Lone seamer Anderson got Rohit with a ball that nipped away to rattle Rohit's off stump and then he got to Jaiswal to reach 695 Test wickets in 183 matches.

"I'm obviously delighted with the five wickets (in the match) but I think I'm more pleased with the fact I got through 35 overs in three days," said Anderson, who played his first Test in 2003.

"I felt strong when I was doing it as well. All that work I was doing in the last few months has really paid off, and that’s probably the most satisfying thing for me."
