England Vs West Indies 1st Test: James Anderson Leads Out England In Farewell Test — WATCH

England Vs West Indies 1st Test: James Anderson leads the team on to the pitch on the occasion of his farewell Test match. Here are the details. WATCH.

England Vs West Indies 1st Test: Legendary English fast bowler James Anderson gets the honour of leading England to the pitch for the final time ever, as the 41-year old is playing in his farewell Test match. The 1st Test match between England and West Indies at Lord's Cricket Ground will mark the end of an iconic cricketing career, as James Anderson will be retiring from international cricket after 188 Test matches.

"What we can expect from Jimmy is complete heart, desire and passion to go out and win games for England. He's so consummate professional. That first ball that's bowled today, the crowd will be right up behind him," said Ben Stokes, England captain, during the toss.

However, Day 1 did not go dull for the legendary fast bowler, as he managed to scalp the final wicket of West Indies's first innings, as Jayden Seales was deemed out via leg before wicket decision and the Caribbeans were bundled out for 121.

 

Gus Atkinson Steals The Show On Day 1 Of James Anderson's Farewell Test Match

Gus Atkinson had a memorable Day 1 on his Test cricket debut, as the English pacer has indeed, carried the torch being passed onto him by James Anderson. The end of an era does also mark the beginning of a new one, and Gus Atkinson's figures of 7/45 truly justify the statement. The 26-year old was completely unplayable and West Indies batters seemed pretty clueless in front of the right-arm fast bowler, and therefore, failed to survive even two sessions.

 

Here are the highlights from Gus Atkinson's iconic spell on Day 1:
