PLAYER OF THE MATCH
Ollie Pope

For England, the Bazball machine is chugging down the track once again after a bit of a derailment in India. Ollie Pope got twin fifties and so did Duckett, while Harry Brook claimed his first hundred on home soil. Joe Root got number 32 as well as the batters seem to be going along nicely. A lot was asked about what after Broad and Anderson, but Chris Woakes stepped up as the leader of the pack with his consistent line and lengths, while Gus Atkinson impressed again. Mark Wood steamed in ball after ball in this Test, and Shoaib Bashir claimed a historic fifer on a ground where many more experienced and celebrated spinners have struggled in the past. All over for this one, we'll be back Friday from Birmingham. See you then, bye for now!

So a few positives for West Indies as their batters turned up, at least in the first innings. They have an opener in Mikyle Louis with the temperament for batting long in tough conditions, and Athanaze and Kavem Hodge proved they can be real fighters too. Their bowling was better than the first Test, but they’d still crave for a bit more discipline when they travel to Edgbaston. A better display in this second Test but still a fair way short for West Indies.

Ben Stokes: Amazing, the comeback we showed after the opening partnership was remarkable. Bash showed the world what he is about on a wicket that wasn't offering too much to spin. (On the collective performance) In team sport, you want a few individuals to stand up. What shouldn't get lost in all this is that partnership between Brook and Root last night when the ball was swinging. We played well today again and if we are being brutally honest, we could have got more in the first innings. Nevertheless, chasing 380 odd in the 4th innings is never easy. (Any changes in the Bazball approach?) This week has been great for the progression as a team and as individuals. Ben Duckett in the second innings was a good example, they changed their plans for him but he still stuck to his strengths and got runs. Duckett is at his best when he is putting pressure on the opposition. Root was dependable as usual and Brook just got the house down with his knock. (On Mark Wood) I think he hasn't got the rewards this game, but look at the amount of wickets Woakes got from the other end. He was bowling his heart out ball after ball, and his pace is phenomenal and to consistently hit the right areas is remarkable. I'm sure he'll get his rewards later on. (On Woakes) Woakes found his rhytmn on Day 2 and stuck to his guns. He changed the game today with that first wicket. Coming into this game with the external noise of leading the attack didn't phase him, he is our Mr Dependable.

Kraigg Brathwaite: Decently happy, could have been better with the ball. Probably 100 runs too many conceded specially square of the wicket. With the bat, we were good in the first innings but we weren't up to the mark today. You see the efforts the guys have put in, so we have the fitness but we need to show better discipline. England showed us how we should be bowling on a flat wicket to contain the runs. The guys will learn. We need to stay mentally tough and learn from this for future Test matches. (On fielding) We did agree we dropped a few crucial catches. However, what we can control is our line and length, and true that catches win matches at the end of the day. (On the collapse) We weren't expecting it after a decent start, but it is history now and we need to look for the future. We need to stay mentally tough and we have a number of Test matches remaining this year. (On if England had mentally worn them down before the 4th innings) No, I don't think so!

Ollie Pope | Player of the Match: Stokes snuck off and we got a couple of wickets. I was keen to keep him out a little longer then. (On changing conditions) We saw it last night, it nipped a bit and Brook and Root did brilliantly in the evening. And then they came out attacking today morning again. That's how it is in Test matches, we need to make the most of situation. Feel really good about where my game is at the moment.

STAT: Shoaib Bashir is the first spinner to bag a 5-wicket haul at Trent Bridge since Muralitharan's 8/70 vs England in 2006.

STAT: Shoaib Bashir becomes the first-ever English spinner aged under 21 years to take a 5-wicket haul in a Test match on home soil.

STAT: This is the 8th consecutive Test series defeat for West Indies on England soil since 2000. Lat they won a series in England in 1988.

18:29 Local Time, 17:29 GMT, 22:59 IST: So after 3 and a half days of gruelling Test cricket, a case of 45 minutes of bad cricket has spoiled the game for West Indies as England claim a 241 run win at Trent Bridge. It was a fourth innings that started so well for West Indies, as Louis and Brathwaite bunted out the new ball and got the score to 61. However, Woakes struck first ball after drinks and that started the collapse. West Indies lost five wickets in six overs, as Shoaib Bashir chipped in with three in that spell. Athanaze and Hodge - who combined to score 175 together in the first innings - got a sum total of 1 run in the second innings. Jason Holder tried to give some fightback to West Indies after they were reduced to 91/6, but his vigil didn't last too long as England clawed closer to victory. There was also a snorter of a delivery from Wood to Kevin Sinclair, and then Bashir cleaned up the tail to finish with 5/41 as England wrap up the series. Stick around for the presenations...

36.1

Shoaib Bashir to Shamar Joseph, out Bowled!! All over!! Shoaib Bashir becomes the first spinner since Murali to pick a fifer at Trent Bridge. A floated up delivery onto middle, spins after pitching as Joseph went for a blind slog. He misses and the stumps are disturbed.
