Eng vs WI 2nd Test: England wins 2nd Test by 241 runs to claim series

West Indies collapsed in the evening session as England won the second Test by 241 runs with rookie spinner 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 on Sunday to move only one century behind England great Alastair Cook. It was a perfect finale for England's first home test without Stuart Broad or James Anderson since 2012.
