After a six-over spell which included that crucial 384th wicket, Anderson gives way to Stuart Broad, who tests Roach with a bouncer which flicks off his torso as he ducks out of the way. A hostile maiden over is batted out - 12 left.

Former England all-rounder Derek Pringle on Twitter:, external All hail James Anderson England's new record holder with 384 Test wickets. Now the hard work - a night out with a vanquished Sir Ian Botham.

Former England wicketkeeper Alec Stewart on Twitter:, external Huge congratulations to Jimmy on becoming England's leading Test wicket taker. Brilliant achievement. Next target 500 wickets please.

Ben Stokes replaces Root - Holder is hit on the pad, there's an appeal but with the ball clearly sailing down the leg side, no review is used. England still have two left (that Jordan no-ball did not cost them a review) - a good back-foot press from Holder sails away for four through point, but it does little to alter the state of the game. It's still three wickets or bust - West Indies would need to score 128 in 13 overs. Which they won't attempt.

Anderson, aged 20 and with blond highlights in his hair, marked his Test debut in 2003 by taking 5-73 as England swept to an innings victory over Zimbabwe inside three days at Lord's.

Umpire Billy Bowden signals the start of the last hour - Roach knocks a single to scurry away from Anderson's end, but England keep the close fielders in for Holder, who straight-drives and comes back for a third run - clearly he's no longer protecting Roach. Four slips, four men catching in front of the wicket, and even fine leg comes up to leg gully as Roach plays and misses. Oh, the tension.

Former England bowler Darren Gough on Twitter:, external Well done Jimmy truly deserved, a genius.

Former England bowler and Lancashire coach Ashley Giles on Twitter:, external Congratulations to Jimmy A on becoming the greatest. Quite an achievement. Well done Jim from all at Lancashire.

Sir Viv Richards
Ex-West Indies captain on BBC Test Match Special

"Three wickets fell today that the dressing-room will be quite unhappy about: Smith, Samuels and Blackwood. I felt those shots didn't send the message that West Indies were looking to save the game."

Here's a breakdown of Anderson's 384 Test wickets. Now he has the record, we're also going to sprinkle a few of his greatest moments into the last hour.

Joe Root to bowl the last over before we enter the last hour. He gives it a bit of air but Holder isn't taking the bait, carefully playing from the crease. Time for drinks - when the players return, we'll be into the last hour with 15 overs to be bowled.

Previous leading England wicket-taker Sir Ian Botham on Twitter:, external Great moment for Jimmy and his family..... Congratulations you deserve it .... Awesome !!

Never mind, Captain Cook has a smile back on his face which has been a rare sight in recent years. Roach is hit on the pad again, the slips are more interested in an lbw appeal. For the last ball, the entire team are within 20 yards of the bat, catching - but Roach pushes the ball back past the bowler and with no fielders anywhere near, he can pick up two.

Alex Haworth: I went to the kitchen to put my dinner in the oven and I've missed Jimmy's big wicket!

Beth Jakubowski: BBC breaking news alert to my phone about James Anderson. That's the proof you need this is a historic moment.

Graeme Swann
Ex-England spinner

On Twitter:, external Brilliant work by Jimmy to surpass Sir Ian Botham as our leading Test bowler. So proud of my mate. Really happy Cooky got the catch too.

With no HotSpot or Snicko in the DRS during this series, it's all about old-fashioned camerawork - which shows that the ball brushed Roach's pad rather than his bat. Not out, review lost.

Roach tries to force Anderson off his legs, England appeal for a catch behind, the umpire's finger is raised but Roach immediately reviews it...

Andrew Samson
BBC Test Match Special statistician

"It was appropriate that Alastair Cook took that catch, because caught Cook bowled Anderson is England's most prolific combination. That's Cook's 26th catch off Anderson."

Intriguingly, Holder declines a single against Root when he steers the ball through the covers - with the best will in the world, you'd expect a number nine like Roach to survive longer against Root than he would against Anderson? An off-driven four brings up 300 for West Indies, but Root does well to keep Holder down that end from the last two deliveries, so Anderson can target Roach again.

Hassan Shah: Go on Jimmy, unbelievable feat! One of the best of our time.

Paul Cooper: Congratulations to the Burnley Lara. A well deserved milestone, now let's win the Test! Oh Jimmy, Jimmy...

James Standen: Brilliant performance Jimmy. Had an amazing career and more to come!

Andrew Samson
BBC Test Match Special statistician

"It was 10,882 days ago that Ian Botham took his 326th Test wicket to pass Bob Willis as England's all-time leading wicket-taker."

It's a wonderful record for Jimmy - but more importantly for England, one end may be open now. Kemar Roach is the new batsman, but none of the last three lasted too long in the first innings. Roach sees off the rest of the over, getting off the mark with a two to leg as Anderson takes more congratulations.
