England bowler Jimmy Anderson has drawn level with Australian Glenn McGrath as the fourth highest wicket taker in Test history.

Anderson secured his 563rd wicket on Monday afternoon when he successfully bowled out India's Cheteshwar Pujara.

With time remaining for Monday's play, the 36-year-old Englishman is widely expected to surpass McGrath, making him the leading fast bowler in the history books.

It turned into a record breaking day for England right through the side with Alastair Cook breaking Kumar Sangakkara's most runs record, Anderson joining McGrath on 563 and Stuart Broad needs one wicket to beat Kapil Dev's most wicket record.

Just moments after Anderson had drawn level with McGrath, Broad took the ball and sublimely bowled India's Virat Kohli out for a Golden Duck - much to the delight of the crowd. 

Day four of the fifth Test between England and India did not disappoint those that turned out largely to see Cook's final performance in a Test for England where he bowed out having hit a century.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
