Anderson is also the first English bowler to reach the milestone, with Stuart Broad the next active bowler on the list of cricketers with most wickets across formats (760).
Additionally, there are three spinners with more than 900 wickets - Muttiah Muralitharan (SL, 1347), Shane Warne (AUS, 1001) and Anil Kumble (IND, 956).
Dismissing most players for a duck in Tests
On Thursday, Anderson removed Shubman Gill in the very first over of the second innings. With Gill's dismissal, Anderson not only clinched his 899th international scalp but also equalled McGrath's record of dismissing most players for a duck in Tests - 104. Warne and Muralitharan, with 102 wickets each are next on the list.
