The 32-year-old India No. 4 batsman has aggregated 124 in the five innings of the first three Tests at an average of 24.8.
At the age of 39, Anderson has already bowled more number of overs in the first three Tests than any of the Indian seamers has bowled.
Robinson exploited the second new ball on the fourth morning en route splendid bowling figures of 26-6-65-5
Overall, Anderson now has 630 wickets to his name in Test cricket and stands third in the all-time list
Anderson's masterclass was full on display in an awe-inspiring spell of 8-5-6-3 with the new ball as England bowled India out for 78.
The veteran pacer was at his best (8-5-6-3) as he used the conditions to perfection to blow away India's top-order as India were knocked over for 78 in little over 40 overs.
Anderson (8-5-6-3) then did what he does best -- messed with the minds of the top-order batsmen in a sharp eight-over morning spell getting three wickets and then passing on the baton to the younger lot which didn't disappoint him.
The verbal warfare between Kohli and Anderson was talking point of the previous Test at Lord's too.
Overall, it is Anderson's 165th Test appearance, surpassing West Indies's S Chanderpaul to take the fifth spot in the all-time list which features Sachin atop with 200 Test appearances.
While India registered a memorable 151-run win at the home of cricket to go 1-0 up in the five-Test series, players of both teams were seen exchanging verbal volleys.
India pulled off a 151-run sensational win amid heated exchanges between Indian and English players at Lord's.
England had India on the ropes at the end of the fourth day but the visitors ran riot with an 89-run unbeaten ninth-wicket partnership between Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami, who scored a half-century.
Bumrah bowled a 10-ball over mostly comprising bouncers and one of them hit Anderson on the helmet.
Barmy Army, a club of England cricket supporters who follow the team everywhere around the world, has released a video.
Sridhar revealed that Anderson was angry because Bumrah was bowling at him with a relatively quicker speed than the others.
"Bumrah is a competitive fast bowler but wouldn't want to intentionally hurt anyone," said Sridhar during a chat on R Ashwin's Youtube channel.
India cricket team skipper Virat Kohli had a heated exchange with English pacer James Anderson in the first session of play on Day Four of the second Test at Lord's.
With his fourth five-for against India at the Lord's, the 39-year-old Anderson became the oldest pacer to achieve the feat in Tests since 1951.
Bairstow said he doesn't have much knowledge about the extent of injuries suffered by Broad and Anderson, rendering one unavailable and the other doubtful for the second Test against India.
Anderson, who became Test cricket's third highest wicket-taker during the first Test in Nottingham, missed the training session on Wednesday morning due to thigh strain.
