England fast bowler James Anderson became the first pacer in the history of Test cricket to take 600 wickets, in the third Test against Pakistan on Tuesday.
Anderson is overall the fourth bowler to take 600 or more Test wickets, behind spinners Muttiah Muralitharan (800), Shane Warne (708) and Anil Kumble (619).
The 38-year-old achieved the feat on the fifth and final day of the third Test against Pakistan at Southampton, dismissing the visiting captain Azhar Ali for 31. Pakistan need 141 more runs in their second innings following on with seven wickets remaining, to make England bat again. The hosts lead the three-match series 1-0.
