If you're just waking up and joining us then James Anderson has become the first pace bowler to take 700 Test wickets.

The 41-year-old brought up the landmark by having Kuldeep Yadav caught behind earlier.

He is third on the all-time list of wicket-takers in Tests behind spinners Muttiah Muralitharan of Sri Lanka and Australia's Shane Warne.

Compatriot Stuart Broad is the closest pace bowler on the list, claiming 604 before his retirement last July.

The duo are the only pace bowlers to reach 600, with Australia's Glenn McGrath previously holding the record at 563, which Anderson passed in 2018.

Anderson has reached the milestone in 187 Tests, at an average of 26.52.
