00:00 England bowler James Anderson has confirmed he will retire from Test cricket this summer.
00:07 The 41-year-old, England's leading wicket-taker and one of the greatest bowlers of all time,
00:12 said the first Test against West Indies at Lord's on 10 July will be his last.
00:17 The decision comes after Anderson held talks with Test coach Brendan McCullum, who wants
00:22 to build a bowling attack for the future.
00:24 "I'm going to miss walking out for England so much," Anderson said in a statement.
00:29 Anderson made his debut in 2003 and has taken 700 wickets in 187 Tests, the most by any
00:37 pace bowler in Test history.
00:40 He is third on the all-time list of wicket-takers in Test behind spinners Mattia Muralitharan
00:45 of Sri Lanka and Australia's Shane Warne.
00:49 Anderson was due to play two matches for Lancashire in June, but it is now unclear whether he will
00:55 play for his county alongside his country again.
