England’s strike bowler, James Anderson got some miles under his legs by bowling  an impressive first spell of seven overs on the final day of England’s warm-up game against Australia A at Hobart.

He followed it up by catching the edge of Usman Khawaja’s bat with what has become his trademark away swinger to left-handed  batsmen.
