Hope was the top-scorer but was caught by Broad off the bowling of Chris Woakes for 31 runs.

It was easy picking for England as the Windies were all out for 129.

Woakes was the pick of the bowlers with his five wickets while he was well supported by Broad who took four wickets.

This match was not without milestones as Broad also got his 500th wicket.

He was named player of the match and shared the player of the series award with Roston Chase.
