James Anderson cannot hold back tears in his post-match interview

James Anderson gave a tearful interview after playing with Alastair Cook for the final time.

Anderson's 564th wicket, one that saw him surpass Glenn McGrath's as the most successful seam bowler in Test cricket, saw England wrap up victory against India at The Oval in the fifth Test.

The achievement followed Cook's century in his final Test innings the previous day which helped wrap up a 4-1 series win.

The prospect of saying goodbye to Cook from the Test arena proved too much for Anderson in his post-match interview.

Anderson and Cook have grown to be good friends over the 12 years they have played together with England.
