England and West Indies are tied 1-1 in the series as both of them won one Test each. Anderson is the highest wicket-taker for England and is followed by Stuart Broad who's close to 400 wickets. Anderson and Broad have forged a strong partnership and will look to win the upcoming Ashes as England tour Australia in the upcoming months.
