  • Anderson dismissed Ali Azhar today to clinch his 600th Test wicket.

    He joins the likes of Muttiah Muralitharan (800), Shane Warne (708) and Anil Kumble (619) in the elite club.

    Notably, he reached the historic landmark in his 156th Test, the slowest among these bowlers in terms of matches played.

    Muralitharan was the fastest (101 Tests) to get to the mark.

    Anderson now has joint-second-most five-fors among pacers with Glenn McGrath (Test cricket).

    The duo is only behind New Zealand's Richard Hadlee (36).

    Earlier this year, Anderson became the oldest England seamer to take a five-for since Freddie Brown in 1951.

    He recorded figures of 40/5 against South Africa at Newlands.
