Jimmy rolls on
Jimmy Anderson leaves the field at Headingley with the match ball having taken 5-76 in West Indies first innings. His fine performance was the one bright spot for England as the Windies had racked up a big lead over the home team on Day 3 of the 2nd Investec Test. I also went along to the match on the final day hoping to see Jimmy take the 3 wickets he needed to reach 500 test wickets ... but it wasn't his day as West Indies scored 324-44 to win and Jimmy stayed on 497.
He joined the select 500 Club by bowling Kraigg Brathwaite in West Indies 2nd innings at Lords in the following test match. Jimmy went into the series vs. India next on 540 test wickets and overhauled Glenn McGrath's final total of 563 wickets in the Oval test vs. India in September 2018.
