Lancashire skipper Keaton Jennings declared once his side had scored the six runs needed for a third batting point and then watched from second slip as Anderson unleashed his astonishing spell from the Harrod Drive End to destroy the visitors’ top order.
If there was a shade of good fortune about his first wicket when Haseeb Hameed deflected the ball just enough to clip the bails, the rest were the result of Anderson repeatedly hitting a perfect line and length.
Will Young was the next to depart when edging behind to wicketkeeper Matty Hurst followed by Joe Clarke caught at second slip, while both Jack Haynes and Lyndon James were caught fending off rib-high deliveries.
Anderson took all six wickets to fall before lunch after Liam Patterson-White edged to give fourth slip another catch and, suitably refreshed, the England bowler returned to have Dillon Pennington caught behind in the fifth over of the afternoon.
By then Tom Bailey had nipped in to take two wickets in two balls, ending a 41-run partnership between Ben Slater and Calvin Harrison when the latter edged behind, and having Olly Stone caught at second slip.
Last pair Slater and Dane Paterson added 42 for the last wicket before a direct hit by Lyon ended the innings with Paterson run out.
Slater, who carried his bat for 64 in that innings, was trapped lbw for 17 by Lyon when Nottinghamshire followed on and the Australia spinner had Hameed caught behind for 41.
