At present, the first test match between England and West Indies is being played at Lord’s. On the first day of the first test match, England’s best fast bowler Gus Atkinson bowled brilliantly and took 7 wickets. Let us tell you, this was Gus Atkinson’s debut match and he won the hearts of all the fans in his very first match.

None of the West Indies batsmen could do anything against Gus Atkinson. After the first day’s play, the young fast bowler admitted that he was very nervous before the first day’s play and his father’s advice did not work for him.

Gus Atkinson said, ‘I was trying to bowl well. My father was telling me that this is a very big day of your life. I told myself to start it comfortably and after a few overs I also calmed down a bit. I was a little nervous this whole morning. To tell the truth, as soon as I woke up in the morning, the whole day’s plan was going on in my mind.

I got a little emotional this morning and then my family gave me the cap. It was like a dream come true for me. It feels great that I bowled really well for my team and put pressure on the opposing team.

England are in a very good position going into the first Test

Let us tell you, in the first innings of the first Test, apart from Gus Atkinson, James Anderson, captain Ben Stokes and Chris Woakes took one wicket each from England’s side.
