Should Atkinson have let

Anderson get a 5-fer

Given it’s the tailenders and there’s no way England won’t win in the next few overs anyway

No.

The man is doing exactly what he needs to do in going after a 5-fer to compliment his 1st innings 7-fer, all on debut, thereby putting him in the record books among the greats.

Gwaan Atkinson!

no
you play to win and the great ones love winning as much as their personal glory

Anderson had his goal to achieve and Atkison had his goal to achieve and the better person reach there goal . Atkinson is a young man coming up to make a name for himself aderson already made his name .
