LONDON : England will field first in the opening test against West Indies on Wednesday after captain Ben Stokes won the toss at Lord's where fast bowler James Anderson will play his final test before retiring.
LONDON :James Anderson signed off from international cricket with his 704th and final wicket on Friday, ending a glittering 21-year career during England's emphatic win over West Indies and prompting tributes from teammates and fellow greats.
West Indies intended to give England's James Anderson a guard of honour when he came out to bat at Lord's in his last test on Thursday, but their plan was foiled by a run out celebration that took most players too far down the field.
James Anderson led the way in his farewell international match as England closed in on a crushing innings win over the West Indies in the first Test at Lord's on Thursday. The West Indies had slumped to 79-6 in their second innings at stumps on the second day, still a mammoth 171 runs behind England's first-innings 371, with Anderson having taken a miserly 2-11 in 10 overs. England great Anderson came into his 188th and last Test before international retirement having already taken 700 wickets -- the most by any fast bowler in the 147-year history of the format.

Remember the date - June 29 - India lifted their second T20 World Cup - their first in 17 years - on Saturday by beating South Africa in a thriller. The team also bid farewell to the legendary trio - Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja - as the tournament was wrapped up on a high note in Bridgetown's Kensington Oval. Apart from India's fairytale journey, the tournament has also witnessed the rise of the Afghanistan and USA cricket teams and a remarkable redemption of the former champions, West Indies. A few early exits for the likes of New Zealand, Pakistan, and Australia have also made headlines.
West Indies captain Rovman Powell said his team should take pride in bringing the buzz back to Caribbean cricket during the Twenty20 World Cup, even though they bowed out of the tournament in the Super Eight stage on Sunday.
