    What's the story

    England's debutant Gus Atkinson ran riot on Day 1 of the 1st Test against West Indies at Lord's on July 10.

    Atkinson, who was received his maiden Test cap, floored the West Indies with a seven-wicket haul. He finished with 7/45 as the Windies perished for a paltry 121 (21.4 overs).

    Notably, Atkinson recorded the third-best innings figures on Test debut for England.

    #1

    John Ferris: 7/37 vs SA, Cape Town, 1892 

    Former left-arm seamer John Ferris played Test cricket for Australia and England in a career that had just nine Tests.

    He played eight Tests for the Aussies before appearing for England in one final Test, against South Africa, in 1882.

    Ferris bagged figures 6/54 and 7/37 in two innings as the Proteas lost by an innings and 189 runs.

    #2

    Dominic Cork: 7/43 vs WI, Lord's, 1995

    Like Atkinson, former bowler Dominic Cork took a seven-fer against West Indies at Lord's in 1995.

    Cork took 7/43 in the second innings as the Windies were bundled out for 223 while chasing 296.

    Notably, the right-arm seamer recorded figures of 1/72 in the first inningss that saw the visitors score 324.

    Information

    Gus Atkinson: 7/45 vs WI, Lord's, 2024 

    As mentioned, Atkinson now has the third-best innings figures on Test debut for England. Kraigg Brathwaite, Kirk McKenzie, Alick Athanaze, Jason Holder, Joshua Da Silva, and Alzarri Joseph, and Shamar Joseph were his victims.

    #4

    John Lever: 7/46 vs India, Delhi, 1976 

    John Lever has the best innings figures by a Test debutant for England in Asia.

    The left-arm pacer snapped up seven wickets for 46 runs in his maiden innings against India in Delhi in 1976.

    As a result, India were bundled out for 122 in response to England's total of 381 in the first innings. England eventually won by an innings and 25 runs.
