James Anderson's achievement is phenomenal.

He has played 22 years of Test cricket - to keep yourself fit over that period of time and to keep his skills so high and keep evolving, it is just unfathomable.

Greg James, who does the Tailenders podcast alongside James Anderson, has been speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast about Anderson becoming the first pace bowler to take 700 Test wickets.

"I've never seen him more determined than he has been for this series," said James.

"He's fitter than ever...he has worked incredibly hard.

“He will hate having to sit there with us fawning over him and being his biggest fan club but he’s just going to have to deal with it.

"This man got his first Test wicket when Tony Blair was Prime Minister! It’s so stupid that he’s still going.

“He will love this but privately. He will be pleased that he’s still bowling, still getting wickets and still feeling good and that means we’ll see Jimmy Anderson in the summer, which is amazing news for cricket fans.”

QUIZ: Can you name Anderson's Test wickets?

Is Jasprit Bumrah the most complete bowler? He has been phenomenal.

He has been accurate, quick, he's got the ball to swing. And if it's not swinging he's got all the variations in the book, a lethal slower ball and he can utilise reverse-swing later in the innings.

• Ravichandran Ashwin - 26
• Tom Hartley - 22
• Jasprit Bumrah - 19
• Kuldeep Yadav - 19
• Ravindra Jadeja - 19

England are back in Test action in July.

A three-match series against West Indies starts at Lord's on 10 July. The side we see for that could be intriguing. Three more games against Sri Lanka follow from 21 August.

The next time England men play is a T20 against Pakistan on 22 May ahead of the T20 World Cup in USA and West Indies from 1 June.

It was a bit surprising that Ben Stokes said these are our best top six batters in the country so they have to play. They've only dropped Alex Lees as a batter in this era. Obviously that gives players great confidence that they'll get a run in the side and you do need that. But, when will they start making changes?

I do think England are at a little bit of a crossroads. They have got decisions to make over their style of play and over their team selection because as much as they keep saying results don't matter - they do.

For a little bit of balance, the last time India won in England was 2007. It just shows that this side who are so hard to beat in India they find it hard to travel abroad as well.

It is not just an English problem. Winning away from home is Test cricket is incredibly hard. Those are the wins you think most about when you retire.

Steven isn't wrong.

England went into the 50-over World Cup as defending champions but finished seventh, winning only three of their nine games.

There were 2-1 and 3-2 defeats in one-day international and T20 series against West Indies too.

The winter has concluded with this 4-1 Test defeat in India.

There's work for Rob Key and co to do.

It's been a really poor winter for English cricket across all formats. It seems very bleak now. A lot will have to be dug into.

They have to work out now how this team moves forward. We're not necessarily at a crossroads but they've had two great years, moved things forward, but how does this team now start winning things?

That is how you are judged as players. How does this side do that?

More from India captain Rohit Sharma on Yashasvi Jaiswal: "I can talk about him now the series is done! But he has got a long way to go. He has been amazing and he wants to take on the bowlers, which is something we want to encourage.

"He has got so much talent and he puts bowlers under pressure from ball one when he has got all the shots. He knows he will have challenges to come but he is a tough young man who has come a long way in life. He will know what he needs to do individually but also what the team expects from him.

"He's had a superb series, he likes to score big, and we all hope he continues to do that."

Player of the series, India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal: "I really enjoyed this series, it gives me a lot of experience. I'm really happy with how I played throughout the series.

"I was just thinking to play my shots and if I feel like I can take the bowler down then I need to take the bowler down.

"I'm trying to just play one match at a time and make sure I'm doing something for my team to help them win."

India captain Rohit Sharma: "There were a lot of things [that pleased me]. To win a Test series, a lot of things have to fall into place and go right and our players did that, and that's why we are standing here with this series result."

Players missing: "At some stage, players are going to come and go. We know that. But all of these guys have played a lot of cricket even if they have not got much Test experience and they do understand how to play the game. It's just that sometimes, I've got to nurture them and that's what it is all about. They responded very well to pressure throughout the series and there were a lot of times where we came back from behind during the series. Credit to the entire team for that because all our players put their hand up at some point to contribute."

On his bowlers: "There is so much talk about scoring runs and having runs on the board but there is just as much value in taking 20 wickets to win a Test match. We came pretty close in Hyderabad but the next four, how all the bowlers responded and took the responsibility was so pleasing to me.

"Everyone who got the ball in their hand wanted to make a difference. Kuldeep and I have had a lot of conversations, we have always known his potential and that he is a match-winner on his day. He has got something about him that we are all very happy about.

"He had a nasty knee injury and he has come back, worked so hard but he'll be very pleased with his batting in the series too!"

Player of the match Kuldeep Yadav about whether this is the best he's ever bowled: "I think, yes. It's the hard work I've done over the past couple of years and I am getting the reward.

"I would choose my performance at Ranchi as my favourite. It was very slow over there and the way I used my drift was fantastic. I liked the Ben Stokes wicket, but I really liked the Zak Crawley one, that was a beautiful ball.

"I am just focussing on my length and trying to bowl a good length. That is very important for any spinner in any format of the game. I'm not trying too much or thinking about what the batter is doing. I'm just thinking about the length, the pace I am bowling and getting into my rhythm."

More from England captain Ben Stokes on the positives from the series: "There's been quite a few. Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley have formed a formidable partnership at the top and that is only going to get stronger and stronger for us.

"Shoaib Bashir and Tom Hartley have shown us what they're about and we've found two quality players there for the future. Bash has been very sick at the start of this Test match but he's come away with another five-wicket haul and Tom has been exceptional throughout the whole series.

"Joe Root has found some form, so that's exciting for us going into the summer and from a personal point of view it was so great to be back out there and able to bowl again.

On James Anderson: "Just amazing, amazing to be there with him. I've been there for quite a few of his milestones but 700 wickets as a seamer is phenomenal. Every young kid out there who wants to be a fast bowler should be looking up to him and trying to emulate everything that he does.

"He's 41 years old but as fit as I've ever seen him. I don't know when he's going to stop because he's still got so much desire and commitment and it's great to watch."

England captain Ben Stokes on TNT Sports, firstly on the series result: "Now it's come to an end - obviously I didn't say too much while it was ongoing - we are man enough and big enough to accept that we have been outplayed by the better team since the first Test. But as well, with me and who I am and how I look at things, we are going to take the positives from this series with the amount of cricket that we have got coming up and I'm really looking forward to drive this team even further forward."

On the team's consistency: "No, I wouldn't say it worried me. When you look at the game and the series as a whole, there have been moments where we have wrestled the momentum back in our favour but we just haven't been able to maintain that. In Test match cricket, especially out here where the game can change so quickly, it's about understanding those moments and being a bit more relentless with it. We're all here playing cricket at the highest level so we all know that's where it went wrong for us on more than one occasion."

Need to defend at times? "When India get on top, especially with the ball, they get a lot of men around the bat and with the quality of their bowlers - Ashwin, Jadeja, Kuldeep have been quality - you've got to find ways of getting rid of those close fielders. And that comes with risk, and risks don't always pay off. But you've just got to be positive enough to take that risk, accept that it may lead to your downfall, but when the intent is there and you have a clear reason as to why you are playing that shot, you can hold your hands up and accept it."

You can't just play one way against quality spin.

England have had moments of brilliance and innings of brilliance but you've got to be outstanding over a long period of time. Defensively, England aren't good enough so they have to go for the aggressive route and that's very difficult to do against such high-class bowling.

Across the series England had just three centuries and six further half-centuries. That isn't going to win you many series, certainly not five-Test ones anyway.

In the 20 knocks in this Test only three batters made more than 30.

There were nine single-figure scores, including five by top-seven batters.

Ben Stokes has told TNT Sports England have been "outplayed" across the series.

Full quotes shortly.
