Anderson accomplished the greatest feat in the history of his cricket profession when Elgar was bowled.

Anderson, playing in his 175th Test match for England, has become the joint-first fast bowler to take the highest wicket-taker in international cricket. He has equaled the world record of Glenn McGrath of Australia in this. Both at present have 949 wickets in international cricket. McGrath retired a long time ago while Anderson looks young even at 40. Andersen gets an opportunity to overtake McGrath in the second Test against South Africa itself.
