In a riveting display of cricket, England dominated the West Indies on Day 3 of the 1st Test, securing a decisive victory and providing a memorable farewell to the legendary James Anderson. England’s bowlers, led by Anderson, dismantled the West Indies batting lineup, wrapping up the match well within three days.
Anderson, in what could be his final Test appearance, delivered a masterclass in swing bowling. He took key wickets early, setting the tone for the English attack. Supported by the likes of Stuart Broad and Ollie Robinson, Anderson’s performance ensured the West Indies never gained a foothold in the match. The West Indies batsmen struggled against the disciplined English bowling, managing only modest scores in both innings.
