Rain played spoilsport on this test and the previous one as well and with no immediate test matches in the forthcoming future for England it was thought that James Anderson would have to wait for a long time for reaching 600 wickets.
James Anderson is the leading wicket-taker in both ODI and Tests for England and now has exactly 600 wickets to his name in 156 tests. He debuted in 2002 — and played in all formats for England and is currently the 4th highest test wicket-taker of all time behind spinners Muttiah Muralitharan, Shane Warne and Anil Kumble.

Yuvraj Singh Sets Jasprit Bumrah A Minimum Target Of 400 Test Wickets
Jasprit Bumrah, who spearheads India’s bowling attack across formats, also took to Twitter to congratulate James Anderson on his milestone. Yuvraj Singh replied to his tweet by setting the pacer a minimum target of 400 Test wickets before he retires. The pacer had a brilliant start to his Test career and expects to play for another decade or so if not bothered by injuries.
Your target is 400 !! Minimum
