England are set to make a decision over veteran paceman James Anderson's place in the side after naming an unchanged squad for this week's final Ashes Test against Australia at The Oval.
MANCHESTER, England : It helps that he knew what was coming, but 30 years after facing the "ball of the century" from Shane Warne, former England captain Mike Gatting was mightily relieved to survive this time around.
Stuart Broad joined Test cricket's exclusive 600 club as he and Chris Woakes kept England's hopes of a rousing Ashes comeback alive on day one at Emirates Old Trafford. Three years after taking his 500th wicket at the same ground, Broad completed another century of scalps to join a hall of fame that includes only four other names: Muttiah Muralitharan, Shane Warne, team-mate James Anderson and Anil Kumble.

England's Stuart Broad became just the fifth bowler to take 600 Test wickets when he dismissed Australia's Travis Head in the fourth Ashes Test at Old Trafford on Wednesday. By having Head caught in the deep for 48, the 37-year-old paceman joined Sri Lanka's Muttiah Muralitharan (800), Australia's Shane Warne (708), England's James Anderson (688) and India's Anil Kumble (619) in an exclusive club. Broad and Anderson, the other active bowler in this group, are the only quicks to have taken 600 Test wickets. Broad started this match, his 166th Test, on 598 wickets.

James Anderson returns on his Old Trafford home ground to lead an ageing England attack in a must-win fourth Ashes Test. It is the only change for Ben Stokes's men, 2-1 down with two to play. England have dropped Ollie Robinson, who suffered a back spasm as the hosts won the third Test by three wickets at Headingley. Anderson is reinstated just a fortnight short of his 41st birthday for the match starting Wednesday. Anderson's 688 wickets are the most by any paceman in Test history. Only spinners Muttiah Muralitharan and Shane Warne are ahead of the Lancashire swing bowler.
The first day of the first Test match against West Indies belonged to Ravichandran Ashwin. He completed his 33rd five-wicket haul in style to put his team on the front foot. He has now become the bowler with the most five-wicket hauls in Test cricket among all active players. After missing the ICC World Test Championship 2021-23 final against Australia earlier in June, Ashwin made an impactful return in India's first match of the new 2023-25 WTC cycle. He took 5/60 in 24.3 overs at an economy rate of 2.44. He dismissed skipper Kraigg Braithwaite, Tagenarine Chanderpaul, Alick Athanaze, Jason Holder and Jomel Warrican.
