Wood takes five as England win third Test.
Third Rothesay Test (day three of five), Edgbaston
West Indies 282 (Brathwaite 61; Atkinson 4-67) & 175 (Louis 57; Wood 5-40)
England 376 (Smith 95; Joseph 4-122) & 87-0 (Stokes 57*)
England won by 10 wickets
Mark Wood took five wickets in a devastating spell of fast bowling as England wrapped up a 3-0 series victory over West Indies with an emphatic 10-wicket win in the third Test.
A raucous day three Edgbaston crowd roared Wood on after the lunch interval as his 5-9 in 21 deliveries spectacularly blew away the tourists, who began the day on 33-2, for 175 in their second innings.
Set 82 for victory skipper Ben Stokes then hit England's fastest-ever Test half-century off just 24 balls, as he stepped in to open the batting.
Stokes, who finished unbeaten on 57, had opened with fellow left-hander Ben Duckett after regular opener Zak Crawley suffered a broken finger in the field.
He thrilled supporters with some archetypal Bazball hitting in a carefree knock which included nine fours and two sixes as the hosts romped to the target in just 7.2 overs.
West Indies had earlier shown some resistance thanks to a maiden Test fifty for Mikyle Louis, while Kavem Hodge also made a measured half-century, before Wood supercharged the atmosphere with a superb spell. BBC.
