ENG vs WI 1st Test: The English cricket summer has already started and so has the battle to qualify for the finals of the World Test Championship. With Baz McCullum and Ben Stokes as the helm of things, England look ruthless as they lock horns with West Indies in a three-match Test series. England missed out of the 2021 and 2023 World Test Championship finals, but they will be determined to seal a spot for themselves in the WTC Finals of 2025.

Harry Brook Does A Ben Stokes

England are back in the hunt again and have restarted their World Test Championship campaign against Kraigg Brathwaite's West Indies. All the three Test matches are a part of the ongoing cycle of WTC 2025 and both the teams will try and give their best to win the coveted mace. England won the toss and opted to bowl considering the favourable overcast conditions they had, but it was Harry Broo and his catch that grabbed a headlines, as it had nostalgia written all over it.

Stokes who was bowling the 22nd over of the Test match, bowled an immaculate outswinger to Mikyle Louis with a perfect seam presentation. Louis had no other option but to play the delivery which caught his outside edge. Harry Brook who was fielding at the cordon had to make a great diving effort to catch the ball that was travelling. Brook's catch immediately drew comparisons with Ben Stokes' famous catch from Ashes 2015.

James Anderson's Last Dance

England's first Test match of the summer is very special, not only because of their WTC campaign, but also because of their stalwart James Anderson retiring. In a career that has spanned for over two decades, Anderson has been one of the stalwarts of the game and of English cricket. The English pacer has over 700 wickets to his name and is the only pacer to feature in the list of top 3 wicket-takers in Test matches. After Anderson retires, he'll continue to be England's bowling mentor for the remainder of the series.
