That has gone OVER THE TAVERN STAND

Wallop!!!

 

[Titanic]

OMG that is a crazy run out - direct hit of one stump - Bashir is a goner.

 

[Titanic]

Here comes Jimmy

A standing ovation

 

[pasty]

Now that’s a run out. What a superb throw

367/9

 

[Titanic]

England 371 all out (90 overs), leading by 250

Jamie Smith holes out for 70

Zak Crawley 76, Joe Root 68, Ollie Pope 57, Harry Brook 50

 

[Titanic]

Jimmy STRIKES... wicket number 702

Kraigg Brathwaite b Anderson 4 (26b 1x4 0x6) SR: 15.38

12-1

 

[pasty]

702

 

[Titanic]

Ben Stokes STRIKES - his 200th Test Wicket.... it's being reviewed but looked OK on first view

Kirk McKenzie lbw b Stokes 0 (9b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0

17-2, trailing by 233

6000 Test Runs and 200 wickets, only Sir Garfield Sobers and Jacques Kallis have done this before.

 

[Badger]

This isn't much of a contest, is it?

 

[fly high]

This isn't much of a contest, is it?

Sirs Viv Richards and Clive Lloyd watching this debacle of Windies batting. Embarrassing for these true greats.

 

[A1X]

England win the toss and bowl

Got tickets to days 2, 3 and 4 for this thanks to the vagaries of the Lord’s ticket ballot

That’ll be days 2 and 3 then…

 

[Bodian]

England 371 all out (90 overs), leading by 250

Jamie Smith holes out for 70

Zak Crawley 76, Joe Root 68, Ollie Pope 57, Harry Brook 50

And Jimmy Anderson with his 114th Test Not Out.

Next in line, Courtney Walsh - 61.

 

[Bodian]

Undecided on bowling first. Lessens the chances of Jimmy taking the final wicket of the game to round it all off!

About that....

 

[bhafc99]

When is our next test match? It seems a shame Jimmy is going to retire probably just one or two tests short of becoming the second highest wicket taker of all time. Couldn’t he squeeze in another match?

 

[Titanic]

#704 and it's a beauty

Angling in and then nipping sharply down the line of fourth stump as Da Silva looked to close the face, only to tickle it through to Smith. Vintage Anderson, drink it in.

Joshua Da Silva c †Smith b Anderson 9 (26b 1x4 0x6) SR: 34.61

88-7

 

[dazzer6666]

….and then an athletic bit of fielding that a 20 year-old would be proud of……..

 

[Eeyore]

96-8

Shouldn't be taking any joy in this really. It's not good for the longer format.

 

[Titanic]

West Indies 136 all out

England win by an innings and 114 runs.

Gus Atkinson 5-61 after his 7-45 in the first innings

Jimmy Anderson finishes the match with 1-26 and 3-32

and career figures 188 matches 704 wickets @ 26.46

 

[Pevenseagull]

All over.

Sadly not a good game.
