West Indies clinch series with 10-wicket win over England Image

It did not take the West Indies even one full session to seal the three-match Test series with a ten-wicket win against England in Grenada. Asked to chase just 28, West Indies wrapped things up in just 4.5 overs without loss of wickets.

When play began, West Indies needed just two more wickets to bowl out the opponents. Chris Woakes and Jack Leach did well to survive the opening hour. Kemar Roach then struck with his first ball to reduce England to 116/9. Woakes, who played 50 balls for his 19, holed out to Jason Holder. In his next over, Roach induced an outside edge off Leach to end the innings on 120.

Joshua Da Silva was adjudged Player of the Match for his maiden century, giving West Indies a sizeable first-innings lead. Kyle Mayers then claimed a five-for in the second innings to finish the game with seven wickets. 

England 204 (Saqib Mahmood 49; Jayden Seales 3-40) and 120 (Alex Lees 31; Kyle Mayers 5-18) lost to West Indies 297 (Joshua Da Silva 100*; Chris Woakes 3-59) and 28/0 (Kraigg Brathwaite 21*) by 10 wickets. Player of the Match: Joshua da Silva

West Indies won the series 2-1. Player of the Series: Kraigg Brathwaite.
