James Anderson Emotional on His Last Test: England defeated West Indies by an innings and 114 runs on the third day itself in the first Test match played at Lord's Cricket Ground, London. Gus Atkinson, who played his debut Test for England, took 12 wickets while veteran bowler James Anderson, who played his last international match, took 4 wickets in the match. With this victory against West Indies, Anderson's golden Test career also ended.
When Anderson came on the field on the third day of this Test, the players of England and West Indies gave him a guard of honour. Before going to the ground for the last time, Anderson looked very emotional and it was clearly visible on his face how much he is going to miss cricket. Anderson's emotional video is going viral at the moment, which you can see below.
Talking about this match, the West Indies team was invited to bat first after losing the toss at Lord's, but they were on the backfoot from the very first day of the game. In the first innings of West Indies, apart from Michael Lewis (27), Alick Athanaze (23) and Kavem Hodge (24), no batsman was able to score even 20 runs. The same was seen in the second innings as well. This time apart from Alick Athanaze (22), Jason Holder (20) was seen standing on the field for some time, but due to the batting order failing once again, the team was reduced to just 136 runs. Earlier, they had scored only 121 runs in the first innings.
On the other hand, Jack Crowley (76), Ollie Pope (57), Joe Root (68), Harry Brook (50), and Jamie Smith (70) scored brilliant half-centuries for England. On the basis of the innings of these players, England put 371 runs on the scoreboard in their first innings, chasing which the visiting team lost by 114 runs and an innings margin and now they are trailing 1-0 in the three-match series.
