(Reuters) - West Indies intended to give England's James Anderson a guard of honour when he came out to bat at Lord's in his last test on Thursday, but their plan was foiled by a run out celebration that took most players too far down the field.

Mikyle Louis got Shoaib Bashir out with a direct throw and ran to his brother Jeremiah, a member of the squad but not in the playing eleven, at the boundary to celebrate.
