Anderson set to go past Kumble in list of top Test wicket-takers

England pace bowler James Anderson is on cusp of surpassing Anil Kumble’s Test tally of 619 wickets. The 38-year-old pacer, who has taken 614 Test scalps in 160 matches, will likely go past the former India leg-spinner in first Test against New Zealand that begins at Lord’s on Tuesday.

Anderson is fourth on the list of Test cricket’s top wicket-takers while Kumble is third. Ex-Sri Lanka off-spinner Muttiah Muralitharan leads the list with 800 wickets whereas ex-Australian leggie Shane Warne has 708 wickets.
