England have completed a comprehensive 3-0 series whitewash over West Indies, with a dominant 10-wicket win in the third Test at Edgbaston. The match was over on the third day as Ben Stokes and Mark Wood produced match-winning performances.
Stokes, promoted to opener in place of the injured Zak Crawley, smashed the fastest Test fifty by an Englishman, reaching his half-century in just 24 balls. His blistering knock, along with a rapid contribution from Ben Duckett, chased down the modest target of 82 with ease.
Earlier in the day, Mark Wood had produced a devastating spell of fast bowling, claiming five wickets for just 40 runs as West Indies were bowled out for 175 in their second innings.
The Windies, on the other hand, were unable to build on a promising start and collapsed dramatically against the pace and hostility of Wood.
With this victory, England have extended their dominance in Test cricket, while West Indies will be looking to regroup and rebuild ahead of their upcoming series against South Africa.
