London (England), Sep 09 (ANI): England's James Anderson became the sixth bowler and first Englishman to take 500 Test wickets. James Anderson clean bowled West Indies' Kraigg Brathwaite for four on day two of the third Test at Lord's on Friday. Anderson began the match on 497 and took the wickets of Brathwaite and Kyle Hope before Ben Stokes ran through the visitors in the first innings with a six-wicket spell. The 35-year-old is the only English bowler to have touched this mark, and the English cricket fans are now hopeful that one of the best seamers in the history of the sport will at least try and go past Glenn McGrath’s tally of 563 Test wickets.
