Legendary England bowler James Anderson has extended his record-breaking career beyond his 45th birthday by signing for Surrey.

England's all-time leading Test wicket-taker was not offered a new contract by Lancashire, the county for whom he first played professionally 25 years ago.

Amid interest from multiple clubs, the 44-year-old has agreed a move to The Oval and could play on beyond the 2027 season.
