1st Test: Atkinson’s Record Haul Puts England On Top Against West Indies At Lord’s

By IANS News July 11, 2024 • 06:39 AM View: 722

Pacer Gus Atkinson had a near-perfect maiden Test outing here on Wednesday when he claimed 7-45 to record the second-best bowling figures in an innings by an England debutant in Test history, giving the hosts the upper hand against the West Indies.

On the opening day of the first Test, when all eyes were on James Anderson in his farewell match, it was Atkinson who claimed wickets in a flurry – his 7/45 was second only to Dominic Cork's 7/43 against West Indies at Lord's in 1995 and better than John Lever's 7-46 against India in 1976.
