The fifth test between the two sides became quite special for England’s pace bowler as he set a new record in test-match cricket.
James Anderson completes 700 wickets in test-match cricket. He is currently the third-highest wicket taker in test cricket after Muralitharan and Shane Warne.
James Anderson’s tally was 698, and he needed two wickets in the final test to reach that landmark. The pacer dismissed Kuldeep Yadav to pick up his 700th wicket in test cricket.
