James Anderson equalled Sir Ian Botham as England’s highest Test wicket-taker in history with his 383rd dismissal in his 100th match.
Seamer Anderson, 32, had West Indies’ Marlon Samuels caught at gully on the final day of the first Test in Antigua. Anderson, who began the Test on 380 wickets, roared with delight and was mobbed by his team-mates. Samuels’ departure left West Indies 127-4 as they attempted to bat out the final day to secure a draw.
Lancashire’s Anderson, who made his Test debut in 2003, has helped England win three Ashes series and rise to the top of the Test rankings in 2011.
