James Anderson did something no other paceman has achieved when he dismissed Pakistan captain Azhar Ali in Southampton on Tuesday to reach 600 Test wickets.

After fellow England quick Fred Trueman became the first bowler to take 300 Test wickets, a then astonishing figure, in 1964, he was asked whether he thought anyone would ever break his record. Trueman replied: "Aye, but whoever does will be bloody tired." If anyone could sympathise with those sentiments it is Anderson, now appearing in his 156th Test.
