England's James Anderson has created history by becoming the first pacer to claim 600 Test wickets. The 38-year-old dismissed Pakistan skipper Azhar Ali on day 5 of the 3rd Test to get to the landmark. Previously, the 600-wicket club was occupied only by spinners Muralitharan, Warne and Kumble.

Age is just a number

James Anderson becomes the first pacer to take 600 Test wickets. And he gets a big wicket of Azhar Ali as his 600th. 156 Tests & 17 years as a pace bowler — amazing fitness & consistency.

Joins Muttiah Muralitharan, Shane Warne & Anil Kumble in this elite list.
