Debutant fast bowler Gus Atkinson ended his game with amazing match figures of 12-106, giving England a 1-0 lead in the three-Test series. Had Anderson taken a return catch from Gudakesh Moti in the 44th over, he could have had 705 wickets when West Indies were at nine in the second innings.
Anderson laid the foundation for England's emphatic win by dismissing Joshua da Silva (9) after a guard of honor by both teams before West Indies resumed at 79-6 and trailed by 171 runs.
Atkinson dismissed Alzarri Joseph (8), dismissed Shamar Joseph (3) and had Jayden Seales (8) caught at deep square leg to end the match with 5-61, ending Anderson's 21-year Test career. Done. Livelihood.
Anderson received another guard of honor from both England and West Indies players as he retired from international cricket after contributing to the Test victory for the hosts. He will now take on the role of fast bowling mentor for the remainder of England's Test summer.
England's win at Lord's was just their fourth in this cycle of the ICC World Test Championship 2023-25 as they have 33 points and a scoring percentage of 25%. They are in the bottom half in terms of points percentage along with South Africa and Bangladesh.
