England vs West Indies: Shoaib Bashir spins hosts to second Test and series win on day four at Trent Bridge | Cricket News

Shoaib Bashir became the first spinner since 2006 to take five wickets in a Test at Trent Bridge as England sealed a match and series victory by beating West Indies by 241 runs on day four of the second Test.

Harry Brook capped a dominant opening hour for the hosts with his first Test century in England, but his departure shortly before lunch was the first of three wickets to fall in the morning session to leave the outcome still in the balance despite the lead being over 300 runs at the time.

But Joe Root, who now sits eighth on the all-time Test run-scorers list, held firm to make 122 before being dismissed midway through the afternoon session, with England eventually bowled out for 425 and setting West Indies a victory target of 385.

However, the tourists never recovered from slumping from 61-0 to 82-5 as Bashir and Chris Woakes got stuck into the top order, and the 20-year-old off-spinner finished with figures of 5-41 as England skittled West Indies for 143 to claim the Richards-Botham Trophy by going 2-0 up in the three-match series.
