SCOREBOARD
a 34-run, fourth wicket stand.
Desperate to end the series with a score, Hope struck six fours – mostly an array of elegant off-side drives – in a fluent 38-ball knock while Brooks faced 48 deliveries and counted two fours.
However, both fell inside the last 31 balls before lunch, taken 23 minutes early due to rain. Hope was the first to go, pulling at a short one from Woakes and skying a catch to Broad running in from mid-on, capping a miserable series that yielded a paltry 105 runs from six innings.
And Brooks followed soon afterwards, caught behind off the inside edge playing back to Woakes, with lunch in sight.
The visitors’ decline continued 20 minutes after the interval when Roston Chase, unbeaten on five at lunch, was run out by Dom Bess’s direct throw at the striker’s end after adding just two, as he hesitated over a single with Blackwood.
And Holder perished for 12, lbw to Woakes playing forward lazily, to leave the Windies sinking quickly at 99 for seven.
Six overs later, Woakes cleaned up both Shane Dowrich (8) and Rahkeem Cornwall (2) both lbw in the space of five balls before Broad fittingly ended the innings by removing Blackwood to a legside catch by wicketkeeper Jos Buttler.
West Indies won the opening Test by four-wickets at Southampton earlier this month.
