69 and 8, 1-61
A fine all-round game in every respect. Started more soundly against spin now that he is playing it straighter, rather than working it to leg. His bowling continues its revival too. 7/10
36 and 6
Less successful with the bat than at Lord’s but just as sure-handed behind the stumps, and this time had plenty of offspin to take, which he did with the same unspectacular efficiency as pace. 7/10
37 and 12, 4-84 and 2-28
Grew and grew into his work the more he bowled. Once he had found his rhythm the ball came out with the same speed and outswing as last summer. Has earned the title of England’s attack-leader – in England. 8/10
2 and 21*, 2-107 and 2-49
Handed the new ball for the first time, he bowled it straight, which was the prime requirement, calmly accepting the challenge. Has the makings of a new Woakes at number eight. 7/10
13* and 0, 1-71 and 1-17
As so often it was not Mark Wood who reaped the rewards of his record-breaking pace – he might have taken more than two wickets if he had followed up with his yorker and slower ball. It was mainly Shoaib Bashir. 7/10
5 and 0, 2-108 and 5-41
Bowled too straight at the right-handers in West Indies first innings but moved his line more to the offside in the second, and was a consistent threat against lefthanders throughout. Some soft wickets but still: 8/10
