James Anderson takes 30th five-wicket haul in Test cricket

Legendary England pacer James Anderson showed his brilliance with the ball on Day 2 of the second Test against Sri Lanka. The veteran bowler, who claimed two wickets on Friday, took another four today to bring up a memorable performance. This was Anderson's 30th five-wicket haul in Test cricket. Here we present the key career Test numbers of Anderson.

Anderson came into the starting XI for the second Test against Sri Lanka and made an instant impact, removing Kusal Perera (6) and Oshada Fernando (0). The Lankans were reduced to 7/2. Anderson dismissed Lahiru Thirimanne next for 43. On Saturday, Anderson removed Angelo Mathews (110) and also came back to dismiss the valiant Niroshan Dickwella (91). He also dismissed Suranga Lakmal (0).

Stats
Anderson moves to number six in terms of five-wicket hauls

Anderson delivered a performance that will be remembered for a long time. Playing his 157th match, Anderson has taken 606 career Test scalps. Claiming his 30th five-wicket haul in Test cricket has seen him move to number six in the all-time standings. He is the first Englishman and second pacer overall to register 30 or more five-wicket hauls. He surpassed Glenn McGrath's tally (29).

Playing his 14th Test against Sri Lanka, Anderson has claimed 58 wickets so far. This was his fifth five-wicket haul against the Lankans. He also registered his best bowling figures against Sri Lanka. Notably, Anderson has clinched 40 wickets on home soil against Lanka at 17.20. In Sri Lanka, he now has 18 scalps.
