England won the second and final Test against the West Indies by an innings and 83 runs on Monday’s final day.
Victory gave England the series 2-0 after their 10-wicket first Test win at Lord’s and saw them regain the Wisden Trophy they’d lost in the Caribbean earlier this year.
West Indies, following on, resumed Monday on 115-3 but lost five wickets for 52 runs before lunch, with seamer Tim Bresnan striking twice to take his first wickets in Test cricket.
James Anderson, who’d taken 5-87 in the West Indies’ first innings, added three more to leave the tourists on 167 -8 at the interval.
And three overs after the break England had wrapped up the match, with a further wicket apiece for Anderson and Bresnan.
Anderson finished with innings figures of four wickets for 38 runs, for a match haul of 9-125 while Bresnan took 3-45.
England had been in charge from the start, with opener Alastair Cook’s Test-best 160 the cornerstone of their total of 569-6 declared. — AFP
