England are keen to give a “better showing” of themselves when their five-Test series against India begins on Wednesday, says James Anderson.

England beat India 4-1 on home soil in 2018, but were soundly beaten when they toured India earlier this year.

They also suffered a first home series defeat since 2014 when they were beaten by New Zealand in June.

“We know how good India are and getting five matches in six weeks, it’s really exciting,” pace bowler Anderson said.

“We are really keen to improve from that New Zealand series earlier in the summer.

“I don’t think we gave a great showing of ourselves. We can do much better than that.”

The first Test takes place at Trent Bridge from 11:00 BST.
