He struck again in his third over, angling a full ball across left-armer Kirk McKenzie, whose thick outside edge flew quickly to Jack Crawley at second slip. Atkinson bowled at good pace, regularly touching 90mph/145kmh, and after his first five-over spell he was 2 for 2 with four maidens and a scoring shot.
Lewis, who became the first player from St Kitts to play Test cricket for the West Indies, was handed his cap by Sir Vivian Richards and played with a confidence that belied the fact that it was only his eighth first-class game. He hit back-to-back boundaries in Anderson’s first over, one through backward point and the second through mid-off in dismissive fashion.
Chris Woakes, playing his first Test in almost a year, played the shot of the morning when he hit a six over the square leg boundary. Woakes thought Lewis had been dismissed when he was caught all out by Nitin Menon on 22, but the on-field decision was overturned on review.
Anderson batted occasionally, but bowled very little on a slower pitch, particularly in his first spell. He was applauded on the pitch by the Lord’s crowd as his daughters Ruby and Lola rang the five-minute bell on the pavilion balcony while leading England for the national anthem with his immediate family.
