9.49am The perfect start for England but the hard work starts now. Anderson has got his milestone, Bashir has got a Test five-for. Anderson leads England off the field, Bashir keeps the ball. India bowled out with a lead of 259. England have to find a way to score 400 here to compete in the Test. Be back before you miss me.

Venkatesh: "Hats off Mr Anderson. The first Fast Bowler to enter the 700 club. What a feat!!"

Shoaib Bashir to Bumrah, OUT, appeal for stumping, and we are checking it with the third umpire. Bashir angles it across him but Bumrah is playing for the turn. Beaten on the outside edge, his foot is dragged out. I think he is still on the line when the bail is taken off, but the third umpire Kumar Dharamsena is taking his time because it is quite close. And he finally agrees with me. Bashir has a five-for

Anderson to Mohammed Siraj, no run, on a length, pushed to midwicket, a yes and a no, and they both end up inside their own crease

In comes Mohammed Siraj. I hope he brings a regular tailender cavalier approach with him. Far more entertaining than what Kuldeep and Bumrah have been up to

Anderson to Kuldeep Yadav, OUT, Anderson scales Mount 700. Take a moment for one of the greatest bowlers ever. Only the third man to get to 700. Follows that short ball with a sucker delivery on a length outside off, and Kuldeep nicks it to the keeper. Anderson is congratulated by his team-mates, he takes a moment to raise the ball and to the crowd and specifically to his parents in the stands before handing it over to the umpires
