DHARAMSALA, India (Reuters) -England's seemingly ageless James Anderson on Saturday became the first seam bowler to claim 700 test wickets, achieving the feat in the fifth and final test against India at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium.
Playing in his 187th test, the 41-year-old dismissed Kuldeep Yadav caught behind to become only the third bowler -- behind spinners Muttiah Muralitharan (800) and Shane Warne (708)-- to reach that milestone.
Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
