James Anderson Retirement: 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.

With this victory of England, the international career of legendary bowler James Anderson also came to a happy end. Anderson took 4 wickets in this match. Anderson ended his career with 704 wickets in the longest format of the game.

When Anderson left the field for the last time, the audience greeted him with a standing ovation. After this, he also addressed the fans from the balcony of Lord's and to celebrate his farewell, Anderson also drank a glass of beer on the balcony itself. Anderson finished the entire glass of beer in one go and during this time the fans were also seen singing a special song for him.

England Cricket captured this moment on social media and shared it and it went viral in no time.

Seeing Anderson retire, his teammates also looked emotional in the dressing room. Last year Stuart Broad said goodbye to Test cricket and now this year Anderson has retired from Test cricket.

This means that now the English team will be seen playing Test cricket without Broad and Anderson and it will be interesting to see how England's bowling performs in the absence of these two.

At the same time, Anderson said on the end of his career, “These 20 years have been fantastic. It was great to see the reaction of the audience. It has been very special. Whenever I wear this shirt, I try to win the match for England. It has been different. Emotions have been up and down. Seeing my girls ring the bell on the first day.

These 20 years have been fantastic. Your career cannot be long without a support network behind you. This is a journey for us as well as the family.”
