1st Test Day 3 _ Highlights _ West Indies Tour Of England _ 12th July 2024
Transcript
00:00It is quite cool and overcast at Lourdes as the players head out for the start of day
00:18three.
00:19And Jimmy Anderson's family, mother, father, wife, children in the house, as he comes through
00:26a guard of honour for the final time as an England Test cricketer.
00:34West Indies are 79 for 6, trailing by 171, and you mentioned the difficult part for Anderson.
00:41Stokes may not get out of North London if he doesn't bowl Jimmy Anderson at some stage.
00:46And Jimmy will want to bowl at that end, but Gus Atkinson has to finish the over.
00:51We shall see how Stokes manages the situation.
00:54A Test match to win.
00:56It's all Jimmy Anderson has ever worried about as a cricketer.
00:59It's not about him, it's about winning the Test.
01:02And it's to him, so the choice is therefore to keep Atkinson going and therefore give
01:15Jimmy Anderson his last favour then.
01:19Ooh, that was close to the outside edge, 79 for 6.
01:26Anderson had bowled back of a length and a bit wide, and as he's often done in his career,
01:30just gone a fraction fuller, and that did move down the slope.
01:41Now then, Stokes, ooh, just can't quite get there.
01:46There were two men out on the hook.
01:49Maybe that just made Alzari Joseph play the big shot.
01:56Couldn't get there.
01:57Even Stokes, fit Ben Stokes, couldn't get there.
02:03Nope.
02:06Ooh, run out chance, run out chance.
02:08He wants a single there, and it is Stokes again.
02:12Alzari Joseph had turned his back on Joshua da Silva.
02:18Nope.
02:35Well, you're going to play some shots, Alzari Joseph.
02:39It's quite a sharp delivery from Gus Atkinson, but given the treatment...
02:47Easier as a tail ender, you've got a bit more of a licence.
02:50Four or six.
02:52Ooh, good luck.
02:55Third umpire, fourth umpire.
03:01I have no idea, but I think the third umpire has given a four.
03:09Ooh, that is a beauty.
03:11What an absolute beauty that is.
03:14The best of Jimmy Anderson for number 704.
03:20Well, that is a serious delivery.
03:22It really is.
03:24Whatever end, unbelievable.
03:28If you want to know what makes Anderson great, just watch that delivery.
03:32A batter trying to turn it to leg has nicked it.
03:40He has always been touched by greatness.
03:46Family absolutely love that.
03:50Joshua da Silva has to go.
03:52Anderson has another 88 for seven.
04:06He's going to have a go.
04:10Gets away with it somehow.
04:12Right off the splice of the bat.
04:14Lobbing over Atkinson and short of Anderson at mid-off.
04:24And he bowls through his action.
04:32Bouncer is not easy to pick up.
04:34That is off the toe end of the bat and it hurries away in that direction.
04:39Anderson gives chase.
04:44As the third umpire checks this,
04:48it just allows for Alzari Joseph to change his bat again.
04:55I think Anderson has done well here.
05:05Yep, all good.
05:10Anderson from around the wicket now, probing away.
05:14Excellent.
05:21Lovely strike.
05:22Really good strike this by Moti down the ground.
05:29Moti, it's up, it's off.
05:40High it goes.
05:42Duck it.
05:43Takes a catch.
05:45And it is ten for Gus Atkinson.
05:47He stands, arms raised, a huge smile on his face.
05:52Yep, England's soon to be passed at one end.
05:56England's future at the other.
06:00Baton has been passed from Jimmy Anderson.
06:03And now Gus Atkinson picks it up.
06:07And now Gus Atkinson picks it up.
06:09And he picks up his tenth wicket.
06:11Alzari Joseph goes out swinging.
06:14He goes for eight.
06:15It's 96 for eight.
06:18Shemar Joseph, who's had a difficult game.
06:22Got a duck in the first innings.
06:24He's had issues with Krampt and his hamstring.
06:28Wasn't far away from getting an eleventh.
06:30A thick outside edge flies to Ben Duckett down at third man.
06:46The lower order miss your good ones to try and bring the stumps into play.
06:58Number eleven for Gus Atkinson.
07:02Shemar Joseph's Lord's Test match is done.
07:07Hostile short pitch deliveries and then the fuller one to bring that off stump into play.
07:13Joseph goes to three.
07:15A hundred and three for nine.
07:22Oh no!
07:25Jimmy Anderson.
07:27What have you done?
07:28The ball gently arcing back towards him.
07:33And he's been the most wonderful fielder over the years as well.
07:37World cricket for a fast bowler.
07:39Here's the in-swinger looking to hit the stumps.
07:44Mighty just chipped it back.
07:47Has he gone for glory one hand?
07:54Overtitched on this occasion and Moti just pushes that firmly up the hill and to the fence.
08:07That's gone past slip.
08:09Flashes away down to the third man boundary.
08:12There's a bit of a chance actually.
08:14It doesn't matter with a no goal.
08:18Sort of just beating for pace.
08:21That's powerfully hit.
08:24That is a really good shot actually by Moti.
08:31Well that's a pretty good shot from Jayden Seals.
08:33We saw Moti in the last over.
08:39Over it goes.
08:40Top edge flying over Jamie Smith.
08:47Duck it.
08:49Duck it.
08:51Takes the catch.
08:54So there will be no final wicket to end this game for Jimmy Anderson.
08:59But he plays for England victories not for personal milestones.
09:03And he finishes his career with a victory.
09:07Where it all started 21 years ago against Zimbabwe.
09:12He will walk off here as a winner.
09:15And with 704 test match wickets to his name.
09:18It is Gus Atkinson who's put the final full stop on this game.
09:23And what a match he has had.
09:25He will undoubtedly be given the player of the match.
09:28Finishing with five in the second innings to add to his seven in the first.
09:33But the day, well it's all been about Jimmy Anderson really.
09:37And we'll finish it now to cries of oh Jimmy Jimmy from about 20,000 people in here at Lourdes.
09:44They've had the privilege of watching one of England's greatest players over the last two decades.
09:51What a champion he has been.
09:54And I'm sure Ben Stokes will have Jimmy Anderson lead off England for the final time.
10:07He finishes there with three for 32 in the second innings.
10:10Gus Atkinson taking five wickets for the second time in the game.
10:14West Indies bowled out for 136 in their second innings.
10:18England winning this match by innings and 114 runs.
