NOTTINGHAM, England — West Indies collapsed in the evening session on Sunday as England won the second test by 241 runs with Shoaib Bashir taking 5-41 after hundreds from Joe Root and Harry Brook set up the series-clinching win at Trent Bridge.
Root and Brook , the long-reigning king of England’s batting unit and his heir apparent, reeled off classy centuries to pave the way for a sprint to victory on the fourth evening of the test. Root hit his 32nd test ton to move only one behind England great Alastair Cook.Chasing an unlikely target of 385 after England’s second-innings 425 all out, the tourists were demolished for 143 in just 36.1 overs as rookie spinner Bashir did the damage.
The 20-year-old, who did not get a single over in the first test at Lord’s, justified the selection gamble that saw him fast-tracked ahead of the established Jack Leach this summer as he took the role of fourth-innings finisher. England won the first test at Lord’s by an innings and 114 runs. Edgbaston will host the third and final test, starting Friday.
