Dharamsala | Ageless wonder Jimmy Anderson became the first pace bowler in the history of Test cricket to take 700 wickets but not before hosts India ended their first innings on a commendable 477 on the third morning of the final game here on Saturday.
Kuldeep Yadav (30) became Anderson's 700th victim as India took a huge first innings lead of 259 as they were all out within 20 minutes of the start of play.
Along with vice-captain Jasprit Bumrah (20), Kuldeep added 49 runs for the ninth wicket before off-spinner Shoaib Bashir (5/173 in 46.1 overs) wrapped up the Indian innings with his second five-wicket haul.
Earlier, centuries by skipper Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill and half-centuries from Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sarfaraz Khan and debutant Devdutt Padikkal ensured a big first innings lead for India.
