There's the breakthrough and James Anderson is now the leading England Test wicket taker,

overtaking Sir Ian Botham.

Well done to Jimmy Anderson for his milestone as the leading wicket taker for England in test cricket. I still think people will remember Sir Ian as the best English test bowler though.

James Anderson is named Man of the Series:

"Definitely, played some good cricket and to get a first-innings lead, we thought we were in a good position.

There were periods when we thought we were in with a chance but Bravo and Blackwood played very well.

We've played well, I fell like I've bowled well and contributed, so very disappointed we didn't get over the line


[Breaking Botham's record] I've had a purple patch since then and a bit of luck. It might be my last time to come here, :-[

if we have to wait another six years, but we've enjoyed every minute of it."

Special test match for Jimmy !!!  Well done !!
