England's James Anderson and Australia's Marnus Labuschagne had a face-off in the English County Championship when Lancashire took on Glamorgan. Anderson hasn't bowled to Labuschagne in international cricket and they will be facing each other later this year in Ashes 2021.

In their battle during the County Championship, Anderson was on the top as he got Labuschagne out with a beautiful delivery which took the latter's outside edge. The English pacer compared bowling to him like impressing a girl in the club.

Speaking on BBC Podcast 'Tailenders', Anderson said, "You want to create a good impression and stamp your authority on that battle. It's nice to get the first blow in."

Playing for Glamorgan, Labuschagne was batting on 12 when Anderson produced a peach of a delivery to send him back to the pavilion. "I'd never bowled at him before," the fast bowler said.

"It's like when you see a girl at a club and you try to play it cool. You want her to be impressed. You start dancing to the Stone Roses while your shoes stick to the floor," he added.

Anderson was ruled out of The Ashes 2019 after the recurrence of calf pain during a 4-day friendly against Durham for Lancashire's second XI. He had bowled only four overs in the first Test and missed out on the rest of the series.
