Anderson takes his 600th Test wicket

England cricketer Jimmy Anderson has become the first fast bowler to reach 600 Test wickets.

Anderson achieved the milestone after Azhar Ali was caught out on the fifth day of the final Test against Pakistan at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton.

Not only is he the first fast bowler to reach the milestone, he is fourth on the all-time list of Test wicket-takers.

Former England cricket captain Michael Vaughan said: "We are witnessing true greatness."

In honour of Jimmy Anderson's achievement, Newsround decided to take a look at some other notable sporting records.

Liverpool's unbeaten run

Liverpool registered 18 league wins in a row during their Premier League title-winning 2019-20 season.

They were hoping to set a new record of 19 but in a shock result they were beaten by Watford 3-0, a team that was eventually relegated.

The defeat meant they now share the record with Manchester City, who won 18 games in a row between August and December 2017.

The Reds had the last laugh though, winning the title 18 points clear of runners-up Manchester City.

Arsenal's 'Invincibles'

Staying with football but going back to 2004, when Arsenal played Manchester United at Old Trafford with a record at stake.

Arsenal were holding the new record for going the most games unbeaten in the league - they had gone 49 games without losing and were hoping to make it to 50.

But the record stayed at 49 because Sir Alex Ferguson's team won.

It's a record they still hold in English football as they never lost between May 2003 and October 2004.

Liverpool had been trying to beat the unbeaten record too this season but got to 44 league games before losing at Watford.

Serena and Venus Williams

The Williams sisters have achieved astonishing things in tennis.

They won Olympic gold in the doubles competition at three Games. They played 16 games together before being beaten in Rio De Janeiro in Brazil in 2016.

The duo were beaten by the Czech Republic's Lucie Safarova and Barbora Strycova 6-3, 6-4.

Yes, that was the first time ever that they lost an Olympic match!

It hasn't stopped the pair though, they have 29 combined titles outside the Olympics. Serena has won 23 singles Grand Slam titles - a record for a female tennis player.

Venus has seven. Pretty impressive, right?

Paula Radcliffe

Running a marathon is not easy but back in 2003, British runner Paula Radcliffe managed to run the London Marathon in a record two hours, 15 minutes and 25 seconds.

It's a record that she held for an astonishing 16 years - until 2019, when Kenya's Brigid Kosgei beat it in Chicago.

The 25-year-old ran the race in two hours, 14 minutes and four seconds.
