England fast bowler James Anderson became the fourth player to take 600 wickets in Test cricket
Anderson made his Test debut in May 2003, with a match against Zimbabwe at Lord’s. He had played his first international game in December 2002 – an ODI against Australia.
The 38-year-old is the highest wicket-taker in Tests among fast bowlers and only has Sri Lanka’s Muttiah Muralitharan, Australia’s Shane Warne and India’s Anil Kumble ahead of him on the all-time list.
