Stuart Broad starred as England thrashed the West Indies by an innings and 209 runs to ensure the inaugural day/night Test in Britain ended inside three days at Edgbaston on Saturday.
West Indies, following on, lost 19 wickets for 261 runs in the day’s play as England surged to a 1-0 lead in this three-Test series.
Having been bowled out for just 168 in its first innings, after England had piled up 514 for eight declared on the back of Man-of-the-Match Alastair Cook’s 243 and captain Joe Root’s 136, the West Indies collapsed to 137 all out second time around.
Broad took three wickets for 34 runs in 10 overs, including a spell of three for four in 11 balls that saw him surpass England great Ian Botham’s tally of 383 Test wickets.
Broad is now second in England’s list of all-time leading Test wicket-takers, with only new-ball colleague James Anderson ahead of him.
It was Anderson who did the initial damage in both West Indies innings.
Anderson struck when Kieran Powell edged to former captain Cook at first slip.
West Indies was 42 for two when Test debutant Kyle Hope (12) was lbw to seamer Toby Roland-Jones.
Shai Hope hung in for more than 30 minutes but then nicked Ben Stokes to second slip Root.
Kraigg Brathwaite (40) resisted for 107 minutes and hit seven fours before he was lbw on review to off-spinner Moeen Ali, playing in front of his Birmingham home crowd to leave West Indies 76 for four at tea.
Blackwood was then stumped by wicket-keeper Jonny Bairstow off Moeen Ali before Broad struck.
