The 32-year-old paceman achieved the milestone in his 104th Test to become a member of the elite club.

Anderson has also claimed 269 ODI wickets and 18 in Twenty20s.

He’s talking me through his 400th Test pole. Wobble seam I think, he’s says ‘effort ball.’ Fantastic. #Jimmy400 pic.twitter.com/DSbXSqzC1k
