Anderson reached the milestone when he had Kuldeep Yadav caught behind by Ben Foakes at the start of day three of the fifth Test. “I think he would like to knock Warne off and I don’t want to say he can’t get to Muralitharan! “Jesus, 700 is a lot, a lot of effort.”Ex-England seamer Finn hailed Anderson’s ability to adapt given the Lancashire veteran made his Test debut back in 2003. To get 700 wickets in 187 games is truly remarkable.”Anderson’s captain Ben Stokes insisted the 187-Test capped bowler should serve as inspiration for aspiring seamers.
