[Watch] James Anderson Cleans Up WI Captain With A Vintage Nip-Backer In His Final Test

James Anderson is into his final Test match, and with more than 700 wickets to his belt, the man has already etched his name in the history books. However, the hunger and skills to knock over the best of the batters is still there, and he did that again in this final outing with the ball by knocking over West Indies captain Kraigg Brathwaite with an absolute beauty.

It was a dream delivery from Anderson, the kind of stuff a bowler dreams of. For James Anderson though, it is a trademark delivery, especially in English conditions. A fullish delivery, tailing into the right-hander. Late swing as always, and Kraigg Brathwaite who is normally pretty solid in his defence fails to cover the line of the ball as it nips back in and sneaks between his bat and pad to knock over the middle-stump in style.

Anderson did not stop there though, and late in the day, got the better of Alick Athanaze who was batting well, and played a big hand in reducing West Indies to 79-6 at the end of Day 2 as they trail by 171 runs in their second innings.

Earlier, England posted 371 in reply to West Indies' 121 in the first innings and now look well on their way to register a thumping victory on Day 3.
