Anderson becomes first English bowler to take 400 Test wickets

England fast bowler James Anderson claimed his 400th Test wicket when he had New Zealand's Martin Guptill caught at slip by Ian Bell for nought in the second Test at Headlingley, Leeds.

Anderson, 32, became England's leading Test wicket taker during last month's series in the West Indies, surpassing Ian Botham's record of 383 victims.

He became the 12th bowler to reach the milestone of 400 Test wickets. Former Sri Lanka spinner Muttiah Muralitharan heads the list with 800 victims.

Anderson had Martin Guptill caught at slip by Ian Bell for nought in the third over to claim his 400th Test wicket.

Two balls later Kane Williamson edged the fast bowler to wicketkeeper Jos Buttler to leave the touring side reeling.

Tom Latham and Luke Ronchi lifted a New Zealand side bristling with attacking intent to 297 for eight at the close on a rain-disrupted first day.

Latham made 84 and Ronchi a sublime 88 on his debut, the pair sharing a sixth-wicket partnership of 120 to help their side recover from a dire start after losing the toss.
