His swansong will be witnessed at the hallowed grounds of Lord's, where he will don the England jersey for one last time in a Test match against West Indies.

Anderson, etching his name in the annals of cricketing folklore, achieved the remarkable feat of becoming the first fast bowler to claim 700 wickets in Test cricket during England's recent tour of India.
