AFP- West Indies crushed England by 10 wickets to win the third Test and claim the three-match series yesterday.

Set just 28 for victory after dismissing the tourists for 120 in their second innings, openers Kraigg Brathwaite (20) and John Campbell (6) knocked off the runs inside five overs.

The first two Tests in Antigua and Barbados had ended in tame draws.

England were dismissed for 204 in their first innings while West Indies made 297.

All-rounder Kyle Mayers starred in the demolition of the England second innings with impressive figures of 5-18.
However, it was wicketkeeper-batsman Joshua da Silva who was named man of the match for his undefeated 100 in the West Indies’ first innings.

The defeat was particularly painful for England skipper Joe Root whose job will come under more pressure following the Ashes debacle in Australia.

Chief scores: 
England 204 (S. Mahmood 49, J. Leach 41 n.o.; J. Seales 3/40, K. Mayers 2/13, A. Joseph 2/33) and 120 (A. Lees 31; K. Mayers 5/18, K. Roach 2/10)
West Indies 297 (J. Da Silva 100 n.o., J. Campbell 35; S. Mahmood 2/45, B. Stokes 2/48) and 28/0 (K. Brathwaite 20 n.o.)
