Both teams&#8217; players honoured the legendary fast bowler as the crowd applauded with a big cheer.  <!-- \/8323530\/ITv_Desktop_VDO_1X1 -->\n  <\/p>\n<p>England needed only four wickets to win the opening Test match on Day 3 and fans packed Lord&#8217;s stands to bid farewell to Anderson. West Indies struggled to show any\u00a0resistance and were bowled out to 136 in 47 overs as Gus Atkinson completed his five-fer in the second innings and finished the match with 12 wickets on his debut.<\/p>\n<p>Anderson gave England an opening with Joshua Da Silva&#8217;s wicket in the third over of the day. He also bowled out Shamar Joseph but it was Atkinson who stole the attention with the last wicket to complete a five-wicket haul. England won the match by an innings and 114 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series at home.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Anderson, 41, finished his glorious career with 704 wickets in 188\u00a0Test matches, the third-best figures after legendary spinners Muttiah Muralitharan\u00a0and Shane Warne. Anderon appreciated the crowd after England&#8217;s big win and then revealed his emotions and feelings in his final post-match interview.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Obviously this morning was quite emotional with the two teams lined up and the reaction from the crowd was pretty special,&#8221; Anderson told Sky Cricket after the game. &#8220;But yeah, I&#8217;m still trying to hold them [tears] back now, but I think I&#8217;m just really proud of playing for 20-odd years. [It] is an incredible effort, especially for a fast bowler.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m just happy that I&#8217;ve made it this far. Happy that I&#8217;ve been lucky enough to stay injury-free pretty much throughout my career. And yeah, play for England. It&#8217;s the best job in the world, so I&#8217;ve been privileged to be able to do it for a long time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async>\nfunction loadFacebookScript(){\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '529056027274737');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n}\nwindow.addEventListener('load', (event) => {\n\tsetTimeout(function(){\n        loadFacebookScript();\n\t}, 5000);\n});\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/sports\/cricket\/james-anderson-receives-guard-of-honour-on-his-last-day-in-test-cricket-at-lord-s-watch-2024-07-12-941524\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image Source : ECB\/X James Anderson during the Test against West Indies at Lord&#8217;s on July 12, 2024 The retiring James Anderson received a Guard of Honour from England and West Indies players when he stepped out at Lord&#8217;s for his potentially last day in Test cricket on Friday, July 12.
