Gus Atkinson to Alzarri Joseph, OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! TEN wickets in the match for Gus Atkinson! The short-ball ploy to Joseph has done the trick for the debutant. 7 wickets in the first inning and 3 so far in the second inning for Atkinson. He becomes the first Englishman to take 10 wickets in his maiden Test at home since 1946. Coming to the delivery, this was banged into the deck again and it rose to trouble Alzarri Joseph a bit. Joseph hangs on the back foot and swivels to fetch the ball from off. Fails to get the distance behind it and it goes only as far as deep backward square leg. Ben Duckett is stationed there for this mode of dismissal. Duckett runs to his right and slides to take a safe catch. Atkinson holds the red cherry aloft and soaks in the applause from the crowd. A moment to cherish for the rest of the life for the man from Chelsea.

Halt! Change of bat for Alzarri Joseph! He doesn't look very convinced with the new one he has got. Well, the question is, how many bats does Joseph with an A have? Jokes apart, maybe the bottom has taken a bad hit.

James Anderson to Joshua Da Silva, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! An absolute seed by James Anderson on highly likely the last day of his last dance. Test scalp number 704 for the great man and his family in the stands is delighted. Anderson pitches it on a length and angles it in, on off, Joshua Da Silva plays for the ball angling into him and shapes up to work it across the line on the leg side by closing the bat's face early. The ball pitches and then nips away enough to catch the outside edge of the bat of Da Silva and Jamie Smith snaffles it with ease. 3rd wicket of the inning for Anderson. He rejoices and soaks in all the admiration from the crowd at Lord's.

All in readiness for the action to begin at the Lord's for Day 3! Ian Bishop follows the tradition and rings the bell to get the play underway! Day 2 was sunny for most of the part, but the new dawn brought overcast skies above. James Anderson was seen walking down the steps with claps echoing in the Lord's Long Room, followed by the two sets of players who gave him the deserved guard of honor. Joshua Da Silva and Alzarri Joseph will resume their innings while Gus Atkinson will start the day by bowling the last delivery of his 8th over. And, here we go...

14:36 (IST) Jul 12

The West Indian batting on the other hand has given absolutely underwhelming returns and as Jayden Seales mentioned in the post-match presser after Day 2, it must be frustrating for them to look at the scorecard. And it was pretty much visible from the West Indian gallery at the Lord’s. Alick Athanaze did try to stabilize things, but he was fighting alone from one end and saw his partners fall at the other. However, Jason Holder tried to provide a hand, but the pair found themselves as two sailors battling a fierce hurricane in a fragile wooden boat. With 6 down on a paltry 79, and still trailing by 171 runs, most cricket pundits and fans will say that it’s just like the West Indies is fighting a long lost battle. Day 3 is usually considered a ‘moving day’ in Test cricket, but this one has moved far from the reach of the tourists. It is just how long they can stretch it out. Stick around as Day 3 will be underway pretty soon.
