James Anderson retires after England's victory

A guard of honor opened James Anderson's last day as an international cricket player. As he stepped onto the pitch at Lord's, the West Indies lineup and his England teammates cheered him on, and skipper Kraigg Brathwaite shook his hand.

After walking out to a guard of honour from both sets of players, the 41-year-old bowled a peach of a delivery, angling in and then curling away, to nick off Joshua Da Silva (9) before West Indies resumed on 79-6 and trailing by 171 runs.

Anderson dropped West Indies' Gudakesh Motie in his follow-through, missing the opportunity to capture the winning wicket, precisely as Stuart Broad had done when he gave up the game at The Kia Oval during the last Ashes Test last summer.

With his debut against India in 1976, Atkinson (12–106) became the first bowler from England to capture ten wickets in a match for the first time since Alec Bedser did so in 1946 at Lord's against India.

Along the way to winning Player of the Match, he also dismissed Alzarri Joseph (8) and bowled Shamar Joseph (3) off stump on the last morning after backing up his 7-45 in the first innings with 5-61 in the West Indies' second innings.
