ENG vs WI Ball by Ball Commentary

OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Gus Atkinson wraps up in style with a sensational 5-fer. He ends up with 12 wickets in his first Test. England clinically win by an inning and 114 runs. Gus Atkinson bends his back and bangs a short-pitched delivery on the stumps, Jayden Seales reacts quickly to the length, readies himself for the pull shot, and transfers the weight on the back foot. He does connect the shot well and pulls in the air towards the deep square leg area. However, he couldn't power away the ball over the fence and Ben Duckett stationed right on the boundary at deep square leg, judges the catch well and grabs it safely over his head. All good things do come to an end, they say! James Anderson ends his illustrious 21-year Test career on that note with 704 wickets to his name in 188 matches.

Full in length, and on off, Jayden Seales shovels it out straight to cover.

Hard length, and angling on off, Gudakesh Motie punches it to the cover fielder.

FOUR! Hacked! A bumper on the middle, Gudakesh Motie sways from the line, clearing his front leg and bends to his right to pull it away. However, the ball is too close to pull and takes the top over the keeper's head for a boundary.

'Catch It' is the collective call but it lands way short of Ben Duckett at deep square leg. Anderson hurls it on a fuller length, in front of the pegs, Jayden Seales flicks it uppishly over square leg and takes a single. Ben Duckett runs forward and collects it on a single bounce.

Anderson angles it into the batter but hurls it down the leg side, Gudakesh Motie guides the ball with a gentle tuck through square leg for one.

Hard length, on the off, Jayden Seales solidly blocks it near the strip to the off side and takes a quick single.

Full and just outside off, this is turned away on the leg side for a couple of runs.

Hard length, on the middle, Jayden Seales stays tall and pats it underneath the bat.

Good length on the leg stump, Seales rides on the bounce and blocks it.

OUT! KNOCKED HIM OVER! A good change in length from Gus Atkinson. 11th scalp for him in this Test. Atkinson steams in from over the stumps and cannons a vicious yorker, aiming at the off-pole, Shamar Joseph clears his front leg for room to access the off side and swings the bat hard, but meets only thin air. The ball though, powers into the off-stump and uproots the peg. Atkinson kept bowling back-of-a-length deliveries and Joseph would have thought that this might also be a half-tracker, but a cunning length variation from Atkinson this. Straight into the blockhole. No 5-fer for Anderson in his last dance, but a highly likely one for Atkinson in both innings. England is just a scalp away from a clinical win.

Swing and a miss! Short and on the top of the middle, Shamar Joseph clears his front leg and misses to connect the pull shot.

Onto the pads on the length, Shamar Joseph tucks it off the back foot to square leg for an easy single.

Shoaib Bashir runs to his left and puts in a timely dive to flick the ball before the ropes. Replays role in and confirms that he has managed to keep it inside the ropes. Two byes. 100 comes up with this for West Indies.

TWO WIDES! Beats Jamie Smith as well. Angles down the leg side, it takes off from the surface and flies past the keeper to deep fine. They cross.

Anderson bowls it full and angles on off, Shamar Joseph presents the full bat's face and eases it in front of Stokes at widish covers. Joseph sets off for a single, Stokes is quick to get to the ball and throws wayward at the bowler's end. A single taken.

Angles it closer to the body on off, and on a hard length, Shamar Joseph gets on the back foot and punches it solidly to the off side.

That feet wasn't going anywhere! Anderson continues to trouble the southpaw from around the wickets, on a length and just around off, Shamar Joseph is stuck in his crease and reaches out to it. Gets beaten on the outside edge.

There's that extra bounce! Around off, short in length, Gudakesh Motie brings his bat down and aborts to have a go at it. Jamie Smith collects the ball at his face level.

Atkinson holds his length, on the middle and leg, Gudakesh Motie hops on the back foot and pats it back to the bowler.

Hard on the back of a length, on the top of the middle, Motie covers his pegs, gets in line and nudges off the back foot to short mid-wicket.

Bangs it short and onto the bodyline, Motie could only duck that one and let it go.

He wasn't far away from his 11th. Hurls it on a fullish length, and around off, Shamar Joseph plants his front foot ahead and tries to whack it across but gets a leading edge that flies past the left of the fourth slip towards deep backward point. One taken.

OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! TEN wickets in the match for Gus Atkinson! The short-ball ploy to Joseph has done the trick for the debutant. 7 wickets in the first inning and 3 so far in the second inning for Atkinson. He becomes the first Englishman to take 10 wickets in his maiden Test at home since 1946. Coming to the delivery, this was banged into the deck again and it rose to trouble Alzarri Joseph a bit. Joseph hangs on the back foot and swivels to fetch the ball from off. Fails to get the distance behind it and it goes only as far as deep backward square leg. Ben Duckett is stationed there for this mode of dismissal. Duckett runs to his right and slides to take a safe catch. Atkinson holds the red cherry aloft and soaks in the applause from the crowd. A moment to cherish for the rest of the life for the man from Chelsea.

Slanting in from around the wicket, full and on off, Gudakesh Motie shows the full face of the bat and defends it out back to the bowler.

FOUR! Lovely shot! Anderson goes slightly wide of the crease and pitches it full, angling in, on middle, Gudakesh Motie holds his shape and gets it in his arc. Commits to the shot completely as he lofts it over wide mid on for a boundary.

Back of a length and on the stumps, Motie defends it straight back to Anderson off the back foot.

Shorter in length outside the line of the off stump, at 132 kph, Motie rides the bounce and defends it to cover.

That probing length again! Bowls from around the wicket to the southpaw, hurls it full this time and right in the corridor of uncertainty, enticing the batter to have a poke at it. Around off, and nipping away a bit. Gudakesh Motie strides ahead and plays inside the line and the ball whispers his outside edge and carries to the keeper. A perfect Test wicket-taking length, missed just by a whisker.

Anderson hustles from around the stumps, delivers an inswinger onto the pads on a length, Gudakesh Motie tucks it to square leg.

And again! Atkinson persists with the bumper, around off, Alzarri Joseph clears his front leg and has a wild swing at it to drag the shot away on the leg side but connects with thin air.

Dishes out a bumper, at the batter, Alzarri Joseph tries to take it on and swings to hook it but misses as the ball sails over his bat.

James Anderson is giving it his all for the team with the ball and in the field too! Bangs it on a back of a length, slanting away, outside off, Gudakesh Motie frees his arms to slap it aerially on the off side. Gets it off the toe end of the bat and it dribbles towards the deep cover fence. James Anderson gives it a chase and puts in a dive and saves a run for his side as he flicks the ball in before it touches the ropes.

There comes the bumper again, aimed at the ribs but the ball does not rise as Atkinson intended it to. Gudakesh Motie gets into a tangle but gets out of the ball's way early and ducks.

Atkinson goes full to Motie, in and around off, Gudakesh Motie gets a good stride in and defends it out confidently.

That could have gone anywhere! Alzarri Joseph gets away with it! Atkinson bends his back and digs in a sharp bumper, on off, Alzarri Joseph expects the short ball but still gets rushed in the pull shot. The ball gets big on him and it comes off the splice of the bat. Luckily for Joseph, it lobs over the bowler and lands well wide of mid off. They cross.

Going across the batter, well wide on off, Gudakesh Motie leaves it all alone.

OUT! EDGED AND GONE! An absolute seed by James Anderson on highly likely the last day of his last dance. Test scalp number 704 for the great man and his family in the stands is delighted. Anderson pitches it on a length and angles it in, on off, Joshua Da Silva plays for the ball angling into him and shapes up to work it across the line on the leg side by closing the bat's face early. The ball pitches and then nips away enough to catch the outside edge of the bat of Da Silva and Jamie Smith snaffles it with ease. 3rd wicket of the inning for Anderson. He rejoices and soaks in all the admiration from the crowd at Lord's.

FOUR! Hit with real authority! Atkinson goes for the short ball again but ends up offering a bit of width for Joseph to cash in. Alzarri Joseph stands tall, leaves nothing in the tank and flat bats it back over the bowler's head for a boundary. Almost went the distance for a six.

At 135 kph by Atkinson, banged into the surface, over middle, Joshua Da Silva drags the pull in front of square on the leg side for a single.

NO BALL! On a short of a good length, on off, Joshua Da Silva stands tall and pushes it to mid off. Atkinson has overstepped.

A big mix-up but no harm done! Atkinson hits the deck hard and bowls it on off, Joshua Da Silva punches it with a straight bat down the deck. Gus Atkinson fails to make the stop as the ball deflects off his shin and rolls in front of mid on. Da Silva sets off for the run but gets no response from Alzarri Joseph as the latter turns his back on the partner. Da Silva turns around and scampers towards the batting end and makes his ground before Ben Stokes can release the throw.

Honing in at the stumps and on a good length, Alzarri Joseph swings too hard and loses his shape as he swipes across the line. Gets it off the inner half of the bat towards deep mid-wicket for a single.

Atkinson responds by banging into the deck but the line is not great. It goes down leg, allowing Alzarri Joseph to make the leave.

In the air....but Ben Stokes cannot get there in time! Atkinson serves it with a scrambled seam, on a length, on off, Alzarri Joseph holds his shape and has a hack at the delivery. Skies it towards deep mid-wicket. Ben Stokes from mid on, covers good ground but the ball still drops well away from him. Two runs taken.

Beats the bat on the last ball! Anderson goes full and lures the batter into the drive. Joshua Da Silva falls into the trap as he extends his hands and looks to drive the away-going delivery and gets beaten on the outside edge.

Pitches this one with an upright seam but Anderson bowls it a bit too wide for his liking, outside off Joshua Da Silva shoulders arms.

Much better! At 130 kph and drags the length back does Anderson, closer to the off-stump line, Joshua Da Silva hangs back and stabs it down with a straight bat.

Swings it away again from the right-hander but not close enough to force the batter to play. Joshua Da Silva makes an easy leave to a good-length delivery outside off.

Atkinson steams in from over the wicket and bangs it in short straight away but the line is down leg. An easy leave for Alzarri Joseph as he ducks and lets the ball go through.

OUT! CAUGHT! Gus Atkinson picks up his second wicket of the innings, this one though has been created out of nothing. The ploy of getting Ollie Pope at short leg has brought them a wicket here. Gus Atkinson dishes a short ball, around middle, which gets big on Holder, who is already a very tall lad. Jason Holder gets his blade very high and ends up chipping it in front of short leg. Ollie Pope there dives in front of him to take a stunner. West Indies are teetering at 79/6 at the end of DAY 2. THAT WILL BE STUMPS.

FOUR! SWEET! Aesthetically pleasing from Jason Holder. Double bluff from Stokes. He pushed square leg back just before this ball, probably trying to indicate that he is going to bowl short. But instead, he bowls it full. However, Holder is well set now and reads the length perfectly. Comes forward, gets to the pitch of the ball and drives it through the covers. NO BALL SIGNALLED AS WELL. The stand moves to 11 from 6 balls. Holder moves to 12 from 40 balls.

OUT! Edged and taken! Wicket number 703 for Jimmy in first-class cricket. The setup works eventually. He was trying to work up Athanaze, trying to get the ball away from the left hander and get the outside edge. He bowled dot ball after dot ball after dot ball and glorified the phrase - patience is virtue. After quite a few balls in line of the stumps, James Anderson just keeps it outside off, on a fuller length and invites Alick Athanaze to have a go at it. Athanaze falls into the trap, looking to drive but only manages a thick outside edge. It goes quick and low to the left of the keeper, Jamie Smith, who gets low to his left and takes it with both gloves. Athanaze departs for 22 from 47 balls, WEST INDIES ARE 55/5 and are still 195 behind.

The same angle, the same ball, the same shot, this time an inside edge is eked out onto the thighs.

Close, close call! This one lands outside off and jags back in a long way. Holder is caught in his crease as he looks to defend and is hit on the pads. Stokes lets out a massive appeal for LBW but Tucker calmly shakes his head. Stokes does not waste even a second in thinking about the review as he indicates that it would go down the leg side, due to the wide angle from which he was bowling. And Ball Tracker confirms the same.

That's a sumptuous drive. But the 41-year-old champion is still quick enough to cut the ball off. Stuart Broad on air chides, 'He might miss bowling after this Test match, but he won't miss chasing the ball to the boundary.' Overpitched, outside off, AA leans and drives it to the right of cover. James Anderson tracks it down from that position and gets to the ball before it reaches the ropes. Three runs taken. Athanaze moves to 22 from 34 balls. 50 UP FOR WEST INDIES. A hard grind it has been.

Back to business. On a good length, around middle, angling away, Alick pushes it towards point.

This one comes in but not that usual swing from Jimmy. Alick Athanaze tucks it towards deep square leg for one.

Full and around middle, AA defends it back down the pitch. Seems like Anderson is setting up Athanaze. Pitching the ball outside leg and then getting it to move away. Watch out for the big booming inswinger any time soon.

OUT! BOWLED! That's gone through his defense and it is wicket number 702 in first-class cricket for the Lord of Lord's. The bowling was exceptionally relentless while the batting was matching it well, not playing too many loose shots. But good bowlers always find a way to get past the batters and Jimmy has found one again. On a good length, outside off, Kraigg Brathwaite looks to play that from the crease, not because of the length, but because he is not sure which way will the ball move. He is tentative, is late and the ball nips back, beats the inside edge and hits the top of middle. In 2017, Brathwaite was the 500th victim of Jimmy in Test cricket and he was dismissed in exactly the same fashion, albeit that was much fuller. This is the 8th time in Tests that he has got the West Indian skipper out. After a watchful opening 30 minutes, West Indies don't have much to show, as they have weathered the storm, but are just 12/1, trailing by 238!
