MARK WOOD blew the West Indies away with a ferocious spell of fast bowling today as England racked up a thumping 10-wicket victory and a 3-0 series sweep in three days at Edgbaston.

Wood brought the heat in Birmingham, terrorising the tourists as he ended their second-innings resistance with the kind of destructive performance once associated with the kings of Caribbean cricket.

Ben Stokes then showed the same panache with the bat, taking a rare turn at opener and blazing the fastest ever half-century by an Englishman — taking just 24 frantic deliveries.
