The England-West Indies first Test match is being played at cricket’s most prestigious Lord’s Cricket Ground in London. Both the teams are now directly challenging each other in the longest format of cricket after being out of the T20 World Cup 2024. The Lord’s Test match is also special because this match will be the last match of England’s great fast bowler James Anderson’s international career as he has announced his retirement. The England cricket team is led by all-rounder Ben Stokes, while the West Indies team is led by Craig Brathwaite. Talking about the match, England won the toss and Ben Stokes decided to bowl first in overcast conditions. The video of Craig Braithwaite’s bowl went viral England fast bowler Gus Atkinson made a brilliant start to his Test career. He bowled a superb delivery to dismiss West Indies captain Craig Brathwaite (6 runs), ending his innings and giving his team a chance to take the lead in the match. Atkinson bowled a good length delivery outside off-stump and Brathwaite tried to hit it and got out. He played the shot away from his body but the ball went in and he paid the price for it by getting out. Brathwaite bowed his head in disappointment as soon as he realised that the ball had hit the stumps. Brathwaite probably knew that he could have played it better.

England is selecting players who… Michael Vaughan points out a big mistake before Ashes 2025
The former England captain said that the selectors should have chosen Jack Leach instead of Shoaib Bashir. Michael Vaughan (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former England captain Michael Vaughan is surprised by the selection of England’s team for the Test series against West Indies. It is worth noting that England has started its home summer with a three-match series against West Indies. The series between the two teams has started on Wednesday, July 10 at Lord’s, London. Before the game, the Ben Stokes-led side had announced their playing XI, which includes debutant Jamie Smith and young spinner Shoaib Bashir. Commenting on his team’s playing XI, Vaughan said that the selectors are not paying attention to county cricket. Along with this, he also told that they are not selecting first choice players from the county. Michael Vaughan said on the Vaughan and Tuffers podcast- “They’re not looking at county cricket. They’re just looking at the players. Bashir is not the first-choice spinner at Somerset, Jack Leach is. Ben Foakes is the first-choice wicketkeeper at Surrey, not Jamie Smith. England are picking players who are not first-choice at their county. I don’t think they’re looking at county cricket as a tool to say ‘you’re an international cricketer.’” Speaking further, the former England captain said that the selectors should have picked Jack Leach over Shoaib Bashir and called him England’s number one spinner. Vaughan also said that Leach is the best choice to trouble Australia in Ashes 2025. “The selection of Bashir over Jack Leach is interesting. I would have picked Jack Leach. Bashir is a fantastic talent and no doubt he would be the second spinner in a two-man spin attack. But Jack Leach has earned the right to be England’s No. 1. Left-arm spin is a pretty good option in Australia.”
