, West Indies v England, 2nd Test: Day Five at St George's, Grenada on 25 April 2015.

Just like touring Sri Lanka, England hasn't enjoyed a great run touring West Indies for the most part of this century. After defeating Brian Lara's team 3-0 in the 2003-04 Test series, England lost the series on their next tour during 2008-09. After a shocking first round exit from the 2015 World Cup - probably Anderson's last - England's best chance at coming up was a series against West Indies, who also suffered a humiliating defeat to New Zealand in the quarterfinals.

After a slow draw in the first Test of the series, England decided to bowl first after winning the toss of the second Test. Anderson bowled the solid Kagiso Braithwaite in the third over, and after 53.5 overs, West Indies were struggling at 129 for 5. A defiant century from West Indies' go-to man Marlon Samuels put the team back on track before Anderson struck with the new ball to induce Samuel's edge, to Ian Bell at second slip. West Indies were eventually bowled out for 299.

An unbeaten 182 from Joe Root helped England all but bat West Indies out of the game. Anderson again struck in the third over for West Indies' second innings, bowling Devon Smith this time around. Kagiso Brathwaite and Darren Bravo put on a solid 142-run partnership, which was broken by Stuart Broad. Brathwaite was supported by Samuels, and the former went past his century. West Indies were soon leading by 60-odd runs, and with eight wickets in hand.

Looking steady at 224 for 2, West Indies were set aback by yet another fiery new-ball spell by Anderson, losing the key wickets of Brathwaite, Samuels and Chanderpaul - all within just four overs from Anderson. Moeen Ali and Chris Jordan wrapped up West Indies' innings, but Anderson's direct hit to run out Jason Holder came from nowhere, ending West Indies' hopes of putting up a 200-plus target.

England easily chased down a target of 143 and won by nine wickets. This victory ensured at least a series draw for England in West Indies after eleven years.
