Anderson ends Cummins’ reign as best Test bowler

The England fast bowler overtook Australia quick Pat Cummins and India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin after his seven-wicket haul against New Zealand in Mount Maunganui last week.

By ending Cummins’ four-year reign as the top-ranked Test bowler, Anderson became the premier bowler on the Test rankings for a sixth time, having first done so in May 2016.

Proteas speedster Kagiso Rabada remains seventh in the rankings.
