got him! Goes for a big pull but top-edges it miles and miles in the air, the ball spiralling as fine-leg steadies himself to take a good catch. And England celebrate a 2-0 series-win

Andrew Miller is scripting a bulletin, so do have a look if you missed any of the action. We'll have a full package and reaction available on our series homepage, so keep your eyes peeled. With that win, England go to fifth in the rankings - up one place. We hope you've enjoyed our coverage in this brief little series. We'll be back for the one-dayers, of course, followed by the ICC World Twenty20. And then? Well it's the Ashes, in case you'd forgotten. For now, from me, Will Luke, along with Andrew Miller, it's goodbye.
England celebrate in a huddle, winning by an innings-and-83 runs. They've utterly outplayed West Indies here. Stumps are grabbed and Andy Flower applauds them from the balcony, grinning from ear to ear. Pleasing start to his tenure for him. It's been a complete rout today; remember, they started on 115 for 3, so have lost 7 for 61 in the blink of an eye. A really forgettable Test and, in all honesty, a forgettable series for West Indies all round.

Bresnan to Edwards, FOUR runs
bosh! Take that. A dismissive, slappy sort of pull which just evades deep square leg
43.3

Bresnan to Edwards, no run
fuller delivery and Edwards swipes and misses. And so does Collingwood, behind the stumps

Bresnan to Edwards, no run
another bouncer, but Edwards ignores it
43.1
•
Bresnan to Edwards, no run
drops in a bouncer which Edwards tries to hook, missing it completely. Very late swing after it passes by, Collingwood taking it nicely to his right

Anderson to Baker, FOUR runs
poor delivery down the leg side and Baker flicks him beautifully for four! Super shot, that
Six slips in place
England a cock-a-hoop here, mainly for Collingwood who cannot stop smiling. Matt Prior applauds from the balcony. England on the brink here and Anderson has a chance to pick-up ten wickets in the match.

Anderson to Chanderpaul, OUT
comes forward to defend as the ball holds its line - and Collingwood, the stand-in wicketkeeper, takes a simple catch behind, prompting extravagant celebrations!

Eight fielders on the off side. Yes, eight

sharp bouncer! That fairly flew through, though it was well played by Edwards, ducking beneath it

cor, there's the sort of swing we saw before lunch, booming back into the left-hander

What a session, and what a fine display of swing bowling by James Anderson and Tim Bresnan. Anderson's control of the huge swing on offer has been fascinating to watch, and he and Bresnan have put England on the brink of a 2-0 series-win. Lunch now, so join us in 40 minutes for the final two wickets.

Anderson to Benn, no run
a swing and a miss! That was heading into Scotland if he connected with that. Terrible stroke just before lunch
