Read all about it with Simon’s report:

What an incredible innings from Root – intelligent, ruthless and easy, so easy, on the eye. He came in at 2-2 and carried England home with more than half the runs – an on drive for four popping the champagne.

Alzarri Joseph was magnificent with the ball – just a shame West Indies tailed off towards the end with the bat – and didn’t make more of England’s fielding mishaps – or the game could have been even tighter.

And as they start packing away in Cardiff, time for us to say goodbye too. Thanks for your company – we’ll be back for the last game in this series at The Oval on Tuesday, starting at 1pm BST. Have a great evening.
