SHOAIB BASHIR capped a ton-derful day for England as they crushed the sorry Windies.

The young off-spinner capitalised on centuries by Yorkshire duo Joe Root and rising star Harry Brook by grabbing a five-fer as the hosts emphatically wrapped up the three-Test series.

The 20-year-old ripped the heart out of the tourists' chase as they surrendered with little more than a whimper after being ground down by both bat and ball.
