Tourists well beaten in third and final Test at Old Trafford
Manchester — Stuart Broad grabbed his 500th Test wicket to set England on their way to a resounding 269-run win over the West Indies in the third and final Test at Old Trafford on Tuesday.
England won the first Test series since the coronavirus pandemic 2-1 and will almost immediately go into another three-match Test series against Pakistan, starting next week. Monday’s play was washed out but Broad did not take long to continue his heroics on Tuesday as he trapped Kraigg Brathwaite leg before wicket for 19.
The 34-year-old bowler had taken the last four wickets of West Indies’ first innings and the first three of their second innings in a dominant performance capped by reaching the 500-wicket milestone — only the seventh Test cricketer to do so.
