James Anderson became the most prolific pace bowler in tests

James Anderson lived up to the expectations and delivered in this series. In the final Test of the series, with the final wicket, he went on to become the most prolific pace bowler in Tests, toppling Glenn McGrath's 563 wickets.

He finished with 24 wickets in the series and remained consistent, sending the openers back to the pavilion early throughout the series. The Indian batsmen could not play his in-swingers and Anderson played a key role in India's series-defeat.
