Mark Wood took the final five West Indies wickets in a devastating spell of fast bowling before Ben Stokes struck a blistering 24-ball fifty as England raced to a 10-wicket win at Edgbaston to clinch a 3-0 series sweep on Sunday.


Set 82 to win, England finished on 87-0 in just 7.2 overs. Stokes -- opening in place of the injured Zak Crawley -- was 55 not out off a mere 28 balls as England completed a 3-0 series whitewash with more than two days to spare.


Wood (5-40) bowled without luck to start day three, but returned after lunch to take five wickets for just nine runs in the space of six overs - Alzarri Joseph and Jayden Seales seeing their stumps sent cartwheeling out of the ground.
