James Anderson, who had taken five wickets in the first innings, dismissed Pakistan skipper Azhar Ali with a sharp, lifting delivery on off stump which the batsman could only fend. Anderson became the first pace bowler in Test history to take 600 wickets. He became the fourth bowler overall after Muttiah Muralitharan, Shane Warne and Anil Kumble to go past 600 wickets. Bowling with pace and generating good swing, Anderson’s first Test wicket came in his 18th delivery when he dismissed Mark Vermeulen. Anderson bowled Jacques Kallis with a superb inswinger to continue his upward curve.
