New Delhi: English paceman James Anderson bowled a stunning delivery to dismiss West Indies opener Kraig Brathwaite for a duck as the tourists failed to get off to a steady start in reply to England's massive 514, on day 2 of the first day-night Test at Edgbaston on Friday.
It was the third over of their innings. James Anderson stepped in for his second over. After troubling Kraig Brathwaite with a couple of his lethal inswingers, Jimmy finally got the better off of the opener when the pink ball nudged the edge of the bat to fall straight into the hands of the wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow. Brathwaite transferred pressure onto his front foot and looked to punch the ball down the wicket, but the pink ball swung enough to kiss the deck and fly off to Bairstow. The right-handed batsman did look guilty initially, with the crowd expecting a DRS, but he walked off as soon as the Umpire had raised his fingers.
