Left-arm seamer is Hampshire’s all-time leading wicket-taker in T20 cricket but has been plagued by injuries

ESPNcricinfo staff06-Mar-2020Chris Wood, Hampshire’s left-arm seamer, has announced his retirement from red-ball cricket at the age of 29 to focus on prolonging his limited-overs career.Wood has taken 105 wickets at 30.22 across a 43-match first-class career, but has regularly been dogged by injuries. He will represent Hampshire in the T20 Blast, and was a £40,000 signing for the Oval Invincibles in the Hundred draft.”I’ve been desperate to play red-ball cricket,” Wood said, “but in recent years every time I get up and running my body seems to hold me back, and this has been the case since having two knee operations over the last few seasons.”When I play red-ball cricket, I feel I’m good enough to contribute to the team but my body just hasn’t allowed me to bowl 30 to 40 overs each week and in consecutive games, so I’ve been mulling it over for some time and now feels like the right time to finally make this decision.”Concentrating solely on white-ball cricket and trying to get the most of my career, playing the formats that I’m more comfortable with and have had more success in, feels like it makes sense and I’m looking forward to being able to focus all my training overs on improving my skills as a white-ball bowler, which will hopefully help me to continue contributing to the club’s limited-overs success in the years to come.”Wood is Hampshire’s all-time leading wicket-taker in T20 cricket, with 131, and was a key part of the club’s limited-overs double in 2012, as well as their sustained period of T20 success from 2010-15. He had his first taste of franchise cricket earlier this winter, playing for Northern Warriors in the Abu Dhabi T10.

Opener scores third half-century in as many innings to lead thumping victory

ESPNcricinfo staff21-Mar-2019
Amy Jones scored her third half-century in as many ODI innings to lead England to a comfortable eight-wicket win and 3-0 series sweep against Sri Lanka in Katunayake.After winning the toss and electing to bat, Sri Lanka, led by Harshitha Madavi’s 42, were dismissed for 174 as the England bowlers shared the wickets around. Kate Cross, Anya Shrubsole, and Alex Hartley claimed two wickets apiece with wicketkeeper Jones running out Inoshi Priyadharshani on the last ball of their innings.Opening the batting for England, Jones smashed 76 off just 58 balls with eight fours and three sixes, adding to her 79 off 71 balls in the first ODI and 54 off 39 in the second. By the time she was bowled by Shashikala Siriwardene in the latest fixture, England were flying at 127 for 1 in the 19th over.Tammy Beaumont contributed 63 off 66 deliveries before she too was bowled by Siriwardene. That left Lauren Winfield and Heather Knight to put on the remaining 11 runs England needed for victory, which they secured with 143 balls remaining. Jones and Beaumont have now shared four century partnerships in 13 innings together.Knight was pleased with the work her bowlers did to set up England’s successful chase.”To come out here and perform like we did, we made it really clinical,” Knight said. “The bowlers really put a shift in actually, especially the seamers, it was so hot today. We had three shirt changes in the first innings… the spinners chipping in as well was really nice and obviously the way we finished it off made it look very easy.”It isn’t always easy but to make it look like that is brilliant and the way [Jones] and Tammy put on the hundred partnership to set the tone for the batting and to finish off in 26 overs, I’m delighted.”England won their rain-interrupted first ODI against Sri Lanka by 154 runs on the Duckworth-Lewis method and their second, also in Hambantota, by six wickets. Their series sweep means England moved to second behind Australia on the ICC Women’s Championship table, while Sri Lanka will be forced to play in the qualifying tournament for the 2021 Women’s World Cup.The sides will contest three T20I matches in Colombo, starting on Sunday.

Selectors hand maiden call-ups to Gurrey and Mair for the three T20Is against India

ESPNcricinfo staff20-Jan-2019Frances Mackay returns to the New Zealand women’s T20I squad five years after she last featured in an international. The selectors have also included uncapped Caitlin Gurrey and Rosemary Mair in their 13-member squad for the three-match series against India starting February 6.Mackay and Gurrey were selected following their chart-topping show at the 2018-19 Super Smash. Allrounder Mackay struck two centuries and a 97 for Canterbury women recently, while Gurrey has impressed with scores of 102, 79 and 55 since December. Mair, the Central Districts’ 20-year-old medium pacer, has taken a wicket in each of her last ten games, with a best of 3 for 28 in the warm-up game against India. For head coach Haidie Tiffen, this is an opportunity for the team to regroup after a disappointing group-stage exit from the 2018 Women’s World T20. It has meant that Maddy Green, Lauren Down, Katie Perkins, Holly Huddleston and Anna Peterson miss out.”We’ve had to draw a line in the sand after our performance at the T20 World Cup,” Tiffen said. “We need to reward and give opportunities to players in form, while building depth and competition for places within the environment. Frankie, Katie and Rosemary can all be proud of how they have performed in their respective Super Smash campaigns. We are rewarding players who are in form and we feel these three deserve a chance at the highest level.”The squad also features the return of Katey Martin, who was unavailable for the ODIs against India due to personal reasons.New Zealand women T20I squad: Amy Satterthwaite (capt), Suzie Bates, Bernadine Bezuidenhout, Sophie Devine, Caitlin Gurrey, Hayley Jensen, Leigh Kasperek, Amelia Kerr, Frances Mackay, Katey Martin, Rosemary Mair, Hannah Rowe, Lea Tahuhu

Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bangalore will look to break away from the bottom half of the table when they clash at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Saturday

Start time 2000 local (1430 GMT)

Big picture

Chris Jordan was an analyst for when Royal Challengers Bangalore played Sunrisers Hyderabad in their season opener at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. Three weeks later, Jordan is set to fly to India, and is touted as one of the solutions to the team’s bowling woes after being signed as a replacement for the injured Mitchell Starc.Chris Gayle, meanwhile, has re-joined the squad after his paternity leave, and is expected to regain his berth in the XI. That could leave the team management with a selection headache.With AB de Villiers and Shane Watson certainties, barring injuries, the overseas slots that could be up for grabs are the ones held by Kane Richardson and Tabraiz Shamsi, the South African chinaman bowler. If they decide to play Shamsi, who has impressed in his two outings, Royal Challengers will have to depend on their Indian pacers. That will mean the onus will once again be on the batsmen to do the running.Virat Kohli averages 110 and strikes at 141 in T20s this year. De Villiers has crunched 269 runs in five matches this season, including three half-centuries, at an average and strike rate of 53.80 and 170.25. Yet Royal Challengers are towards the bottom of the table largely because of their bowling.Shamsi has caught the eye with his skiddy googly as well as the bus-driver jig, but Richardson, Varun Aaron, Iqbal Abdulla, Yuzvendra Chahal, Harshal Patel, Stuart Binny, S Aravind, Adam Milne, David Wiese have all leaked over nine runs an over.Sunrisers are coming off a batting collapse against Rising Pune Supergiants. The middle order is Sunrisers’ Achilles heel, and it was exposed on the night David Warner endured his first single-digit score of the tournament. The average for Sunrisers’ Nos. 3 to 5 this season is 12.50 – the lowest among all teams. Their bowling, though, looks healthy, especially after the return of Ashish Nehra from a groin injury.

In the spotlight

Not only does Mustafizur Rahman snap his wrists for the slower cutter, he also does so for his stock ball. In fact, he rolled his wrists over the yorker that cut in and floored Andre Russell as well as his middle stump. “The Fizz” should make for a mouth-watering duel against Royal Challengers’ blockbuster top three, provided Warner does not hold him back.Chris Gayle has not moved to double figures since his 47-ball ton against England in the World Twenty20 last month. With Jordan all set to join the squad and Shane Watson and Shamsi strangling the opposition, there is pressure on Gayle to fire immediately.

It may frustrate supporters, but Surrey enter this season at the start of another rebuilding process.

George Dobell04-Apr-2013Last year 7th, CC Div 1; Group stages, T20; 2nd Group B, CB402012 in a nutshell: A season overshadowed by tragedy. While it would be an exaggeration to suggest all was progressing well before the death of Tom Maynard – Surrey’s form had been modest – the club faced a desperate struggle to retain equilibrium afterwards. That they retained their Division One status and missed out on a CB40 semi-final by the skin of their teeth might be considered admirable. Amid the shock, few individuals progressed. Surrey utilised 24 players in the Championship alone, seeming unsure who was best at the top of the order and rarely batting with assurance. The bowling of Stuart Meaker, who was not flattered by his figures, was a bright spot but Jacques Rudolph was a disappointment, Steven Davies and Chris Jordan were dropped and Jon Lewis, Jade Dernbach and Chris Tremlett either rarely played or struggled to make an impact. All have strong mitigating factors, but there is no avoiding the fact that 2012 was a dark year in the history of the club.2013 prospects: Surrey look a very different team in 2013. Gone is the old captain, Rory Hamilton-Brown, gone is the mainstay of the batting for a generation, Mark Ramprakash, and gone are several of the bright young things (Maynard, Chris Jordan and Matt Spriegel) who it was hoped would form the spine of the team for years to come. Recognising that more maturity was required in the dressing room, the club brought in Vikram Solanki (37 on April 1) and Gary Keedy (38) to join the likes of Zander de Bruyn (37), Jon Lewis (37) and Gareth Batty (35) as well as big name overseas signings Graeme Smith (32) and Ricky Ponting (38). Some good young players remain: George Edwards and Matt Dunn are among the most promising fast bowlers; Jason Roy and Rory Burns are talented young batsmen and all can be seen as products of the club’s youth system. But the balance between youth and experience has swung sharply. A trophy seems unlikely – the batting looks a bit fragile for that – but decent limited-overs form and the comfortable retention of Division One status should not be beyond them.Key player: While Surrey have other wicketkeeping options in Gary Wilson, Steve Davies could be seen as a barometer of this side. He typifies the Chris Adams regime: recruited on a large salary and amid much expectation, his career has not progressed as some predicted. His talent remains undoubted but Surrey – and their director of cricket, Adams – could do with him producing more to justify the investment they made.Bright young thing: George Edwards, 20, is a strong fast bowler with some ability with the bat. Given sustained fitness and opportunity, he could develop into a top-quality player for club and country.Captain/coach: It was always going to take time to turn things around at The Oval. Just as things were, at long last, improving, the club were thrown into turmoil by the death of Maynard and the team required rebuilding. This is Plan B for Chris Adams. How much time he will be given to get things right this time remains uncertain but the club have backed him to the hilt by bringing in Smith as captain. Such investment is likely to demand a return.Cricinfo’s verdict: It may frustrate supporters, but Surrey enter this season at the start of another rebuilding process. Having lost several of those seen as the future of the club, it may take time for others to settle in their place. How much patience will be shown towards Adams and co. remains to be seen but the squad is deep and experienced and, led by Smith, they will surely prove tougher, more obdurate opposition.

Will Beer and Chris Nash took three wickets apiece as Sussex defended 199 to move top of CB40 Group C with an important victory over Warwickshire at Hove

Sussex moved into pole position to qualify for the CB40 semi-finals after leapfrogging Warwickshire at the top of Group C following a 17-run victory.The third-placed Bears were dismissed for 182 in the final over replying to a modest 199 for 9 to leave Sussex needing to beat Yorkshire and Kent to secure their place in the last four. Warwickshire and Kent, however, can still go through if the leaders slip up.Sussex’s spinners were the key to victory; they bowled 21 overs between them on a slow pitch. Mike Yardy set the tone by conceding just 23 runs in his eight overs, before leg spinner Will Beer took centre stage, claiming 3 for 27.Having run out Will Porterfield, Beer starred after being brought into the attack by having Tim Ambrose caught behind and Jim Troughton stumped. He completed his haul when he bowled Darren Maddy off an inside edge.Offspinner Chris Nash had the dangerous Rikki Clarke caught at extra cover and returned in the 38th over to end a threatening 52-run stand between Keith Barker and Steffan Piolet by bowling the former as he tried to clear the leg-side boundary.That left Warwickshire needing 34 off the last three overs, and Nash secured victory in the last when he castled Chris Wright to also finish with 3 for 27.Earlier, Sussex had been indebted to Yardy, who made the only half-century of the match.Wright took three wickets in nine balls – including that of namesake Luke for a golden duck – to reduce Sussex to 34 for 3 in the seventh over. Yardy and Murray Goodwin then put on 62, only for the latter to play on to Jeetan Patel’s quicker ball for 36; Patel also picked up Joe Gatting to finish with 2 for 29.At 125 for 6 in the 27th over, Sussex were in trouble. But Kirk Wernars counter-attacked before Yardy chipped a catch to mid-on, having hit five fours in his 61. Wernars finished unbeaten on 37 and a target of 200 proved beyond a Warwickshire side whose hopes of reaching the last four may have been fatally damaged by two defeats in the space of 48 hours.

An unbeaten 74 from 20-year-old Luke Wells in only his third County Championship match took Sussex to within sight of an unlikely victory against Durham

Scorecard
An unbeaten 74 from 20-year-old Luke Wells in only his third County Championship match took Sussex to within sight of an unlikely victory against Durham at Chester-le-Street today.
Needing 309 to win, Sussex closed on 237 for 4 with another youngster, Ben Brown, contributing 39 to an unbroken stand of 88.Wells, the son of former Sussex captain Alan Wells, bettered the 62 he made on his debut against Worcestershire at the end of last season. He had failed to impress in a limp first-innings display by the visitors, but made a more confident start this time and was prepared to go down the pitch to the spinners.He became more circumspect when acting captain Murray Goodwin was the fourth man out for 36, though, and needed 149 balls to reach 50. Durham, for their part, struggled to come to terms with the pitch. Having batted in their second innings as though they did not trust it, they could extract no life from a docile surface.After the fall of 14 wickets on the second day, Durham began the third with a lead of 166 but lost their remaining five wickets in the first hour for the addition of only 44 runs. They succumbed to a mixture of rash strokes and good bowling from Rana Naved-ul-Hasan and Monty Panesar.Wicketkeeper Michael Richardson shuffled across and was lbw to the first ball of the day before Scott Borthwick handed Rana his second wicket of the morning by pulling a catch straight to mid-on. Callum Thorp made 19 before a slower ball from Rana ducked in late to bowl him.Dale Benkenstein, on 38 overnight, completed his fifty off 65 balls but was bowled by the next ball when he went down the track to Panesar looking to hit him over mid-on. The left-arm spinner then bowled Mitch Claydon as Durham were all out for 210.Sussex openers Ed Joyce and Chris Nash put on 58 with relative comfort until Ian Blackwell made the breakthrough when he had Joyce well caught at silly mid-off by Gordon Muchall. Nash and Wells added 40 before Thorp revived Durham with two wickets in two
balls.Nash went for 45 when he played back defensively and the ball ran down his bat
into the stumps, then Joe Gatting edged to Muchall at slip. When Muchall also caught Goodwin it was his fifth catch of the match, but he missed the one sharp chance offered by Wells on 49.With Steve Harmison and Liam Plunkett injured, Durham were also left to rue resting Graham Onions after his excellent comeback at Headingley last week as Wells edged Sussex closer to victory.

Tamim Iqbal, the Bangladesh vice-captain, has said that his side was satisfied with their nine-wicket win against Canada in their first World Cup warm-up game

ESPNcricinfo staff13-Feb-2011Tamim Iqbal, the Bangladesh vice-captain, has said that his side was satisfied with their nine-wicket win against Canada in their first World Cup warm-up game. “Winning is a habit and our main target was to win the game first,” Tamim told the . “We did well in the 2007 World Cup because we went into the tournament after winning some games. So, it’s nice that we began with a win.”Bangladesh inserted Canada and skittled them out for 112, with five of the seven bowlers used, getting among the wickets. While Bangladesh’s strongest suit – their spinners – turned in a strong show, their seamers also impressed, with Shafiul Islam and Rubel Hossain sharing four wickets. “Our planning was to give everybody a chance in the practice match. It was nice to see that the pacers executed the plans, especially Shafiul impressed everybody. The way he dismissed John Davison [with a slower delivery] was really fantastic. But still it can be much better.”Ashish Bagai, the Canada captain, rued his side’s poor batting. “I think it was not the good bowling by the Bangladesh pace bowlers, but our poor shot selection that caused the early damage,” he said. “And definitely Bangladesh’s main strength is their spin bowlers. The score was not good enough. The wicket was little bit low, but still we could have managed 220-225 runs.”Tamim led the small chase in style, smashing ten boundaries in his 69 from 50 deliveries before falling seven runs away from victory. He is crucial at the top of the order for Bangladesh, so crucial that he said they plan to take the batting Powerplay early if he gets going. But he was disappointed by his dismissal. “I always go for big shots which was not good,” he said. “It was rubbish, the way I was dismissed. Actually there was some pain in my hips.”The decision to bowl did not give Bangladesh a chance to try out their bowlers under lights, and Tamim’s charge ensured the other batsmen missed out on some practice, but he maintained that the main focus was on winning. “Spin bowling is our main strength, and the dew factor could be an issue if we bowl in the second session. We are happy that everything has happened according to our plan, but still we can improve a lot of things before the big challenge on February 19 [the tournament’s opening game, against India].”

A round-up of matches from the second day of the BCCI Corporate Trophy

Cricinfo staff02-Sep-2010Group A
A combined bowling effort from State Bank of Hyderabad inflicted a second consecutive defeat on All India Electricity Board in Visakhapatnam. Vinay Dandekar picked up three wickets and was supported by Abhishek Jhunjhunwala and Rana Chowdhary who picked up two each. The problem for SBH was the failure of their batsmen to convert starts. T Suman made a fluent 32, P Srihari Rao chipped in with 37 while wicketkeeper M Srinivas contributed an unbeaten 33. They were not helped by the appalling lack of support from the other end, as the AIEB bowlers kept chipping away.AIEB would have backed themselves to chase down 172 but they didn’t have to go that far. Rain intervened when they were on 99 for 2 in 20.3 overs, well past what they required at that stage in the event of an interruption.Group B
In a thrilling contest in Chennai, Tata Sports Club survived a spirited chase by Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited and prevailed by one run to open their mark in the BCCI Corporate trophy.The chase of 265 was dealt a major setback when Abhishek Nayar’s fluent knock of 85 was terminated by Gaurav Jathar. At 138 for 4, it seemed TSC were in control but captain VA Indulkar and wicketkeeper Uday Kaul struck half-centuries to surge BPCL back in the game. Indulkar was more measured while Kaul stepped up with four fours and a couple of sixes. Just as it seemed BPCL would upstage their opponents, Wilkin Mota struck twice, ending the threatening stand and then dismissing Sairaj Bahutule. Mota bowled the final over and Bahutule fell first ball but BPCL were still favourites, requiring 4 off 5 balls with Kaul still batting. However, they managed just two more, failing to dispatch Mota, and slipped to an agonising defeat.The star with the bat for TSC was Dhruv Singh, who led his team’s recovery from 109 for 5 with an attacking 115. He was supported down the order by Mota, who chipped in with 30 – part of a decisive all-round effort – and Ajit Agarkar, who blasted 31 off 19 to stretch his team’s score to one they barely managed to defend.Group C
Air India eased to their second straight win in the tournament, beating Chemplast by six wickets in Hyderabad. Even a century from Napoleon Einstein and a score of 278 wasn’t enough in the wake of a solid reply from AI’s batsmen. Captain Mohammad Kaif took the lead in steering his team home, making an unbeaten 82 in 88 balls including four fours and two sixes. And there was ample support from the rest. Hrishikesh Kanitkar scored a run-a-ball 53 in a 118-run stand with Kaif, while Sushant Marathe and Chandan Madan put the chase on track with a 70-run stand. Victory was secured without much fuss with 14 balls to spare.Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited edged State Bank of Mysore by five runs in a fascinating encounter in Hyderabad. Both teams were bowled out, there were no half-centuries in the match and yet there were 575 runs scored in all.BSNL opted to bat and seemed to be on track for a more challenging score with a series of consistent contributions from the batsmen in the top and middle orders. Monish Mishra made 39, NS Negi made 41 and Niranjan Behera chipped in with 36 but what was missing was a more substantial innings. Chethan William grabbed three wickets while every other bowler chipped in with at least a wicket to keep BSNL in check and restrict them to a score of 240.SBM were in a good position to secure a win at 152 for 3 but offspinner Kamlesh Makvana broke a 76-run stand between William and B Akhil. He dismissed both batsmen and left-arm spinner Kuldeep Diwan stepped in to trigger a collapse where the last five wickets fell for 31 runs to deprive SBM of a win.Group D
State Bank of Patiala and Income Tax (India) served up the third closely-fought game of the day, with the former prevailing by 17 runs in Bangalore. SBP batted first and squandered an excellent start provided by their openers, R Rehni and Ravi Inder Singh, who added 101. Inder Singh made 75 but there were no major contributions from the rest. Spinners Ankit Sharma and Parag Khanapurkar grabbed seven wickets between them to help skittle out SBP for 218. SBP held the edge in the chase, limiting IT for 104 for 6 at one stage. But wicketkeeper Amol Ubarhande and Rohit Dahiya tried to revive the innings with a 57-run stand for the seventh wicket, but SBP fought back. Mukesh Sharma chipped away at the rest of the line-up, finishing with 5 for 26, and ending IT’s innings with more than three overs to spare.Oil and Natural Gas Corporation raced to victory against Madras Rubber Factory at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore. Despite good starts, the MRF top-order batsmen fell in pairs. The openers Thalavan Sargunam and S Anirudha fell with the score on 87, Sridharan Sriram and Y Gnaneswara Rao then fell in a space of three runs. Venugopal Rao remained unbeaten on 83 but MRF had been in a position to post more than 242 for 6. The score proved inadequate. Praveen Kumar, who opens the bowling for India, shone in his role as a batsman at the top of the order, giving the ONGC innings a boost with a quickfire 54. His opening partner Sandeep Sharma made 75 while Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir remained unbeaten to steer their team to victory with 73 balls to spare.

Anderson, Atkinson and Stokes share six wickets after England build big lead

Matt Roller11-Jul-2024England need four more wickets to secure an innings win over West Indies inside three days, after James Anderson, Gus Atkinson and Ben Stokes shared six wickets on the second evening. The hosts were dominant with the bat, scoring at more than four runs per over across their first innings and then turned the screw with the ball to close in on a 1-0 lead.Needing to score 250 – more than double their first-innings total – just to make England bat again, West Indies slumped to 37 for 4 inside 19 overs. Anderson’s inswinger knocked back Kraigg Brathwaite’s middle stump, Stokes removed Mikyle Louis and Kirk McKenzie during a ten-over spell, and Kavem Hodge chopped Atkinson onto his own stumps.West Indies’ batters were far too passive, looking to survive rather than score but ultimately managing neither. Alick Athanaze was a rare exception from No. 4, but he fell for 22 to a textbook Anderson set-up: he was worked over from around the wicket, with some balls shaping in and others leaving him before edging behind as he attempted to push through the covers.Joshua da Silva and Jason Holder added 24 for the sixth wicket – damningly, West Indies’ third-highest stand of the match – but England struck with the final ball of the day. Stokes laid a short-ball trap with two men out on the hook, and Holder could only fend Atkinson’s bumper to Ollie Pope at short leg.Atkinson celebrates his eighth wicket on debut after Kavem Hodge’s chop-on•Getty Images

England were bowled out at the tea interval on the second afternoon, compiling a substantial first-innings lead with Harry Brook, Joe Root and debutant Jamie Smith joining Zak Crawley and Pope in scoring half-centuries. Other than Jayden Seales, the pick of the attack, West Indies’ bowlers were short on red-ball match practice – and it showed.Root and Brook scored heavily square of the wicket in the first hour, with Brook batting fluently in his first Test innings in almost a year. In his 13th Test, he reached fifty for the 12th time but failed to add to it: he top-edged an attempted hook off Alzarri Joseph straight to da Silva, reinforcing the belief that he can be susceptible against the short ball.During his innings of 68, Root went past Allan Border’s career aggregate to enter the top ten of all-time Test run-scorers but he fell shortly before lunch. He was the second England batter, after Stokes, to fall victim to an exceptional Gudakesh Motie delivery, raising the question as to why it took Brathwaite so long to bring his left-arm spinner into the attack.Stokes’ first international innings of the season lasted only 11 balls. Motie, who vindicated his selection ahead of Kevin Sinclair, tossed the ball up in his first over of the morning and found sharp turn after landing it on a footmark. It ripped back past the inside edge of Stokes’ swish and left him open-mouthed as it knocked his middle stump out of the ground.Stokes was bowled by a beauty from Motie•Gareth Copley/Getty Images

In the penultimate over before the interval, Root was left smiling in disbelief after losing his off stump. This time, Motie went wide on the crease and bowled his arm ball with an upright seam. Root shaped to punch into the off side as the delivery drifted in sharply, but it deviated late off the pitch to beat him on the outside edge.Smith was the protagonist of the second session, hitting Seales over the Tavern Stand and onto St John’s Wood Road during his maiden Test innings. He shared a sedate partnership of 52 with Chris Woakes but after Woakes and Atkinson fell in quick succession to the second new ball, Smith found a new gear while batting with the tail, even with the field spread.After starting his innings uncharacteristically slowly, he started to skip down the pitch and crunched Shamar Joseph into the Grandstand for six, three overs after reaching a 98-ball half-century. Three overs later, he gave himself room and cracked Seales’ short ball over midwicket and out of Lord’s altogether.Related

• Anderson endures the beginning of his end

Louis’ dead-eye, direct-hit run-out of Shoaib Bashir at the non-striker’s end meant the retiring Anderson was applauded out to the middle for what may well prove to be his final innings in Test cricket. But he didn’t face a ball, with Smith pulling the final delivery of Seales’ over to McKenzie at deep backward square leg to finish with 70.Shamar Joseph spent some of the afternoon session off the field due to some muscle tightness after a recent diet of T20, and was seen receiving treatment on his left hamstring in the dressing room. He was forced to leave the field midway through his 15th over, and looked in discomfort after getting through one further over with the second new ball.There are not enough batters left for Anderson to leapfrog the late Shane Warne and become the second-highest wicket-taker in the format’s history. But in his 188th and final Test, he has the opportunity to clinch one final victory for his country on Friday.
