England’s convincing victory over West Indies in the first Test at Lord’s on Friday brought joy to fans, marking a fitting farewell for James Anderson in his final Test match. The hosts dominated the match, securing a win by an innings and 114 runs.
However, despite this impressive performance, England remains rooted at the bottom of the table after 11 matches. Their current points tally stands at 25%, a result of four wins, six losses, and a single draw. This highlights the inconsistency that has plagued England throughout the series.
West Indies, on the other hand, sits in sixth position with 26.66% points, having played five matches with a record of one win, three losses, and a draw. While this match was a significant victory for England, their overall performance this series continues to be a source of concern, emphasizing the need for improvement to climb the standings.
