Fast bowler Stuart Broad crossed the 200-wicket milestone of his career with a total of 10 wickets in the match as England bounced back to win the series with the final Test against the West Indies. England won the last Test of the series in a bio-secure environment amid a Corona epidemic by a record eight runs against the West Indies. The West Indies were bowled out for 17 against a target of nine to win. Along with this, England also achieved the biggest victory in terms of runs against the West Indies. Broad, who took 4 wickets in the first innings, was quick for 4 in the second innings. Chris Vokes took five wickets for 50 runs.

Earlier, England had scored 4 in the first innings, against which the West Indies were bowled out for 15. Batting again after taking a 15-run lead in the first innings, England declared the second innings at 2 for two. The Windies were bowled out for 16 in 4.5 overs on the fifth and final day against a target of nine to win. Shy Hope's 41, Blackwood's 4 and Brooks' 21 were the main runs.

The Windies created a major upset by beating England by four wickets in the first match of the Test series, which started in a biosecure environment after the Corona epidemic. However, England won the second Test by 114 runs to level the score at 1-1.
