In a dominant display at Manchester, England defeated the West Indies by a massive 269 runs in the third Test. Stuart Broad etched his name into the record books by taking his 500th Test wicket, proving his all-round value by scoring a brisk 62 runs and taking a total of 10 wickets. Broad now joins an elite club as the seventh bowler in history and the second Englishman after James Anderson to achieve 500 Test wickets. His clinical bowling saw him take 6 for 31 in the first innings and 4 for 36 in the second.
Adding to the onslaught, Chris Woakes shone in the second innings, securing 5 wickets for 50 runs. The West Indies collapsed for 129 runs on a final day marred by chilly winds and passing showers, but England remained in total control to win the series 2-1. Much like the previous game, the visitors' batsmen were overwhelmed by the English bowlers, losing wickets in rapid succession. For his outstanding all-round contribution, Stuart Broad was named man of the match. England now shifts its focus to their upcoming Test series against Pakistan at Old Trafford, starting in a week.
