West Indies avoid 2-day Test defeat against England, trail by 171 runs with 4 wickets left

Hindustan Times  

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. England's James Anderson celebrates with teammates after the dismissal of West Indies Alick Athanaze during play on the second day of the first Test 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. England captain Ben Stokes then had Kirk McKenzie lbw for a duck as he became only the third man, after West Indies great Garry Sobers and South Africa's Jacques Kallis, to take both 200 wickets and score 6,000 runs in Tests.
