Anderson's 100th Test
James Anderson's career in pictures
James Anderson made his debut as a fresh-faced 20-year-old against Zimbabwe at Lord's and made his mark immediately with a five-wicket haul•Getty Images
Anderson's career really took off in Wellington during England's 2008 tour of New Zealand. Anderson's seven wickets helped England turn the series around and a partnership with Stuart Broad was born•Getty Images
Continuing his love affair with Trent Bridge, Anderson took 11 for 71 against Pakistan in 2010 to record his best figures in a match•Getty Images
Anderson hauled England over the line to open the 2013 Ashes with victory but the draining schedule badly affected him and in the remaining Tests and the tour of Australia that followed, Anderson was at nowhere near his best•PA Photos
His career failed to ignite for several years, slipping behind the Fab Four of the 2005 Ashes, but was brought back in India to help England unexpectedly draw the series•Getty Images
New Zealand followed England home for a return series and Anderson swung them into oblivion at Trent Bridge with his Test-best 7 for 43 - still his best figures in a Test innings•Getty Images
Anderson arrived in Australia with questions to answer about his ability in foreign conditions but led England to a first series triumph down under for 24 years with 24 wickets - the most by an England bowler over five Tests in Australia since Frank Tyson in 1954•Getty Images
Come the India series of 2014, Anderson was back in form with the ball but his 81 at Trent Bridge - by far his best Test score - was perhaps his most memorable moment of the summer•Getty Images
He played his part as England regained the Ashes in 2009, not quite with the ball where he only took 12 wickets, but his last-wicket stand with Monty Panesar in Cardiff was as good a contribution as any•Getty Images
Another famous foreign triumph came in India with Anderson taking six wickets in Kolkata. England won the series 2-1 and MS Dhoni called Anderson the difference between the sides•BCCI
